Hi all,
American traveling to China for IETF, and making my tech prep plans (bringing a laptop, phone, tablet, kindle, and steam deck). I won’t bias with my current plans too much, but I do already run Linux+LUKS and GrapheneOS.
For those with experience, what tech prep would you do?
Thanks!


Reminder that you’d be going to another legal jurisdiction, don’t be an arrogant Westerner and assume your “Constitutional Rights” apply there. If they ask to search your devices, and you refuse to unlock it, they can do anything from deportation to potentially jailing you. Just keep this in mind. You may not have a “right to silence” there.¹

You can’t fix legal issues with technological solutions.
Very good point. I think I’m going to go with my old laptop, my debate on the phone continues. Full wipe, or just set up a new profile? Hmm…
