+# Device Security at the Border
+
+## Field Reports
+
+February 10, 2017 | "[Canadian Muslim grilled about her faith and view on Trump at US border
+stop][1]," *The Guardian*
+
+> She said they also examined her phone and asked questions about Arabic
+videos on the device. Alaoui told them they were videos of daily prayers she
+had received from friends, to help her and her son as he went through chemo.
+An agent later explained that the videos were why she was being blocked from
+entry.
+
+January 30, 2017 | "[Travelers Affected By Trump Ban Forced To Unlock Phones,
+Computers][3]," *Vocativ*
+
+> President Trump’s confusing, chaotic executive order against travelers
+arriving from seven Muslim-majority countries has prompted federal agents to
+demand travelers — some of them legal residents — hand over access to their
+electronic devices and social media accounts to be searched, their lawyers
+say.
+
+September 9, 2013 | "[The Border Is a Back Door for U.S. Device Searches][2],"
+*Thee New York Times*
+
+> Newly released documents reveal how the government uses border crossings to
+seize and examine travelers’ electronic devices instead of obtaining a search
+warrant to gain access to the data.

+
+##  Tactics
+
+1. Security on a scale. Parity of resources. Common breaches:
+
+- State actors, with near unlimited resources.
+- Sustained but temporary attention at places like the border.
+- Opportunistic agents that target obvious “soft” spots.
+
+2. Attack vectors, vulnerability analysis. Understand your vulnerabilities.
+The importance of physical access. Virtual is real. Thinking about location.
+Cloud vs. local vulnerabilities. Hardware, software, vs. social vectors.
+
+3. Hardening. Common strategies. Two factor authentication. Encryption.
+
+4. Obfuscation. Multiple accounts. Separating work from personal, by year, or place. Cheap disposable devices.  
+
+5. Operational security and hygiene. Security is a practice, not something to
+be done once. Good habits:
+
+- Using multiple accounts / platforms
+- Logging out
+- Two factor authentication
+- Prevent password dependencies
+- Limit use of social media
+
+6. Canary. Buddy system. Currier drops. Backups.
+
+7. Dry runs. Wipe and restore phone and laptop accounts. Institute a protocol.
+Review it with a friend and/or expert. Practice before traveling, when not
+under duress.
+
+8. Limiting access. Travel devices.
