I’m traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

    Yeah, everyone keeps saying stuff like the US respects the rights of foreigners. They don’t.

      A foreigner who is in the US legally can own a business, run for political office, own land, have a professional job like doctor, teacher, lawyer.

      I am a US citizen but live in a foreign country as a resident and I can’t do any of those things here even though I am here legally. Only citizens are allowed to do those things here.

      So in that regard, I’d say the US respects foreigners right.
