Here's the thing though; you can do that, and it'll protect your data, but any nation can still prevent your entry for exactly that reason.

"Oh, you brought an empty phone? Give me access to your cloud account. No? Ok, you're never entering our country. Bye."

Ultimately yeah, they can refuse you for any reason they want and they don't have to tell you why. You're not a citizen, you don't have a right to enter.

Obviously you'd seed it with some fake data...
