And besides, it still wouldn't help. They could hand you a device and tell you to log into your social media accounts. If you say you don't have the passwords because of whatever technical measures you cooked up to make them temporarily inaccessible, you're back to, "Don't do that next time. You're not entering today."

What if you don't have social media accounts?
Reports like this tend to trigger a Google search for my own name and correspondence with all sites that show up, "please delete all my shit".
Finally deleted my Facebook account last week, too.
Maybe we need a religion that forbids using social media, or more broadly, your real identity online?

Good idea. You'll get bonus social points for being a persecuted religious minority when you're turned away and it's publicized.

I'd be interested in their response to this technical measure: they're written down in a book on my desk at home.
