It's quite clear the only way we'll learn is the hard way. We'll see how much smug entitlement we can sustain when the world moves on without us.
Or if you do, fill your phone with 1000s of up close photos of assholes. See if they figure it out.
Fill your gallery entirely with nothing but AI upscaled 4k gifs of tubgirl
Is there an app to make this happen easily? Maybe a GrapheneOS feature??

Realistically the next big security push on mobile devices, due to things like this, should be plausible deniability. In the same way that VeraCrypt lets you set up encryption where you can "unlock" encrypted content and it's a fallback to secure your privacy, phones should allow a backup account or something similar that has select group of apps, photos and messages, perhaps depending on the PIN you use to unlock your phone
Like 10+ years ago I had a "private photos" app that would open up two completely different photo vaults based on what pin you entered. I didn't even think it was a big deal at the time because it makes perfect sense to do. I'm amazed that hasn't become standard practice in the meantime.

And enjoy it when they assault you and lock you away for years. You have no rights in their country, don’t risk it.

I live on the border. I've been many times. The day Trump was elected the second time I swore I would never cross the border again.
Welp, I guess I can't go to the US.
Oh no.
The US Department of Homeland Security has rejected Kitchen’s claim, calling it “unequivocally false.”
DHS is unequivocally lying through their teeth.
If you wanted to make America more secure, disband ICE and TSA completely and replace them with nothing.
Smaller, more secure government.
I get the point of needing some kind of security at the airport, and having a national agency provide said security makes more sense to me than requiring each airport to wing it. provides some consistency. that being said, i have plenty of complaints about the current way it's implemented.

The next Olympics in the US should be interesting. "And none of the other teams or their fans were able to enter the US..."
It will be heavily boycotted. It will be MAGA-approved athletes getting their asses kicked by the Russians and the Chinese.
Olympics and World Cup. I bet you'll see stories of athletes being denied entry when those events are on.

Oh shit, I'm doomed. Good thing I'm already here. Right? That's a good thing?
So can he sue USA for being unjustly returned?
It seems that should be an option. Sue USA through the embassy in Norway.
That way the NHS will have to show probable cause, and if they can't they have to pay compensation.
IDK if Norway has, but here in Denmark we do have warnings about traveling to USA now!
Some months ago this warning mostly regarded LGBT people, but here in June the warning has changed to regard everybody!!
Simply don't go to USA unless you have to!

be aware of the risk of terror, shootings and natural disasters.
Please note that you may be refused entry or be expelled from the United States if...
Not only are there warnings: Around a month ago, a fund that has funded some students at top US universities quite literally evacuated several of the students they were funding.
We're talking about Norwegian students in the US getting a call telling them to "get your passport, and get on the first possible flight home, don't worry, we're paying." This was just around when people with certain skin colours, political opinions, or sexual preferences started getting snatched off the streets.
That's when I realised how absolutely fucked shit has gotten over there. When Norwegian citizens on student visas were literally told to evacuate the country.
I also recently read a story about a Dane, who was married to an American woman, and had several children, and had lived and worked in USA for years was expelled.
IDK why he didn't have the papers he needed, he should have known better. But people are naive, and he probably thought being married to an American was enough?
But we actually have the same rule in Denmark now, being married to a Dane is no longer enough to be allowed to stay here. It used to be an automatic permit to stay, but not anymore. So he definitely should have known.
If we are thinking of the same guy, he had a green card but forgot to file some obscure form at some point. And was detained at his naturalization hearing, aka when trying to become a citizen. He absolutely had the papers he needed, he had the permanent resident card, and there was never any communication about the missing form.
IDK if Norway has, but here in Denmark we do have warnings about traveling to USA now!
Meanwhile, here in Canada it's fucking crickets. They briefly had a warning about the protests in LA, but there's no recommendation or warning about visiting the US. They're kidnapping people off the streets, imprisoning them, deporting them to other countries, and Trump has repeatedly mentioned annexing our country and yet our government is saying nothing.

Aww are the party that never shuts up about hurt feelings hypocrites, shocker
Why? Incase he was smuggling more memes into the country stuffed up his ass?
Sexual predators are attracted to immigration jobs because they have ultimate power and no accountability.
Behind the Bastards re-aired their series on Border Control recently.
One of the stories is border control agents trading a woman for basketball tickets.

Gotta pump up that Palantir database
Why the fuck are they allowed access to people's personal devices, people have a right to privacy

This kind of shit is why I fear to go vacation elsewhere. If they knew about half the things I've said (or what I done to get perma-ed off reddit), they'll be meeting me at the airport...
Freedom of speech, amirite???

Land of the fee and the home of the slave
The proper response to this is to post that meme to even more places. ✊
