I'm curious, would putting your real device in checked in bag and bringing a separate device / burner with you generally enough for bypassing it, or do they check all devices in your bags?

Generally you have all your check bags with you when going through customs.

Right, but do they usually only check the device on you, or do they also go through every device in your bags?

I always get my checked bag after going through customs

Really? I typically go through immigration control, then get my bags, then go through customs.

I can’t imagine how you could go through customs without your bags and have them have specific evidence of your customs violation. I always assumed that’s why some airports make you manually handle luggage and “carry it over a line” to give back for rechecking.

You are right. I was thinking immigration control.

If customs detains you with the intent of searching your electronics, they will almost certainly open your checked-in luggage and search that as well.
