I’ll never bring my phone on an international flight again. Neither should you.

A few months ago I wrote about how you can encrypt your entire life in less than an hour. Well, all the security in the world can’t save you if someone has physical possession of your phone or laptop, and can intimidate you into giving up your password.


And a few weeks ago, that’s precisely what happened to a US citizen returning home from abroad.
On January 30th, Sidd Bikkannavar, a US-born scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory flew back to Houston, Texas from Santiago, Chile.
On his way through through the airport, Customs and Border Patrol agents pulled him aside. They searched him, then detained him in a room with a bunch of other people sleeping in cots. They eventually returned and said they’d release him if he told them the password to unlock his phone.

We’re going to discuss the legality of all of this, and what likely happened during that 30 minutes where Bikkannavar’s phone was unlocked and outside of his possession.

During the Obama years how many stories about grandma and children in wheelchairs getting full body searches did we hear about? I didn't hear Tiki calling for a boycott on travel? Hmmm....what's changed..........I can't quite put my finger on it?

The butthurt journey continues......

We were talking about this on the domestic forum the other day.

People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.
