That’s really a crazy mindset man. The US receives ~100m foreign visitors annually. There is nothing special about you, they don’t care about your Facebook profile. Worst comes to worst, you just refuse to unlock your device and they deport you back to where you came from.

Who says they won't image my device using yet-unknown zero day exploits, or that I get it back at all? And I'd still be out thousands of dollars in travel costs.

These days, zero-days come in packaged as a Cellebrite forensic imager on airports. Hell, Germany is doing that on refugees (https://netzpolitik.org/2020/gefluechtete-klagen-gegen-das-a...).

So in other words, not a zero day
