If you bring a burner phone and they search it and see nothing on it, they'll think that suspicious too and might deny entry.

Yup. That's a possibility. I work in security and would tell them it's just how we do things. If they send me home I will spend the week with my family instead of sitting in stupid training all week.

I thought that was basic opsec. Burner phone with a week of use, paid in cash on you. Real phone (if you need it) in a bag, battery removed and separate by any means. That's not just crossing borders, that's anything longer than a city bus.

What phones have removable batteries?

That's funny. I'll just jump in my time machine and go back 11 years.

The most brutal correction I believe I have ever witnessed.

Burner phone is the way to go, wherever you travel.
