AARP is reduced to telling retirees how to make sure their mobile devices don’t get them detained when returning to the United States, including “1. Know Your Rights” and “2. Turn Off Your Device”. Plus:

6. Travel with a secondary phone

You also can travel with an inexpensive and relatively anonymous secondary device or burner phone, one without your contacts, photos and revealing texts. But be aware that having a device with barely any content on it could raise alarm bells.

That said, many people have perfectly plausible reasons why they’re traveling internationally with a phone with only a few basic apps and not much else. You could be on a business trip and have proprietary or client data that your employer dictates must stay in the U.S.

Regardless of the steps you take, “If you show up and [border agents] think you’re suspicious … whether you’ve got it encrypted or locked, if you’re a person of interest they’re going to take your phone,” Chiappari says. “And then they’ll figure out a way to get it unlocked.”

If you pay attention to AI company branding, you'll notice a pattern: 1. Circular shape (often with a gradient) 2. Central opening or focal point 3. Radiating elements from the center 4. Soft, organic curves Sound familiar? It should, because it's also an apt description of... well, you know. A butthole.

If you have ever been tempted by a Paleozoic Pal, like a a stuffed trilobite or a full size eurypterid body pillow, now's the time to buy one, before they and a really lovely little museum are gone for good 😭😭😭
