    Probably because most backup solutions, especially mobile, are inadequate. Telling employees to wipe their phone and having 5% lose their 2FA, important docs, or whatever is worse than the 0.01% probability of their phone being searched.

    I’ve been wiping all devices when crossing borders for a decade, but I don’t use big tech (non E2EE) cloud, and the whole process is the most stressful part of international travel for me.

      Easiest solution is to do everything on a remote host and just use the laptop or rdp or ssh or whatever works best for you system.

        Yeah, Tailscale makes this a breeze too. Just RDP into your home desktop, and the only thing a third-party will see is your (encrypted) connection to your home network.
