A reset phone will appear highly suspect and they'll probably ask where your real phone / data is, and detain you until you answer them (and/or send you back if you're not a citizen).

I mean, maybe, but there's no evidence yet to support this conclusion. I'd be a little surprised if the TSA/CBP clowns have any idea what they're doing, they're mostly just there for intimidation and data collection.
