I have been told of a rash of banning and denied entry at US border crossings, both at the airport and on land.
It's becoming a bit of a cycle, they get the contents of a phone or a laptop from a known SP or client who is banned while trying to cross, and all the phone numbers, names, ads, even Facebook, twitter and Instagram accounts are thoroughly searched. Other SPs are flagged, either by phone number or real name if they can find it. This leads to more people getting caught and the database of info grows from there.
Travel smart. Wipe your phones of anything incriminating, same for your laptops & tablets, wipe browser histories. I am sure some of the more tech savvy members can add to the suggestions. Guys, this impacts you too, imagine having to explain to your long-time regular that US Border Services has her real name and phone number from your phone, it wouldn't be pretty.
Ladies, it's even more vital if you are working in the USA, make sure you have your story straight and your IT stuff set up correctly.
