Yeah, crossing the border these days reminds me of visiting China with electronics: Enable password SSH into a remote machine that has credentials encrypted on it, make sure that there's a saved identity for that machine, delete any SSH keys or browser saved passwords on the devices you're carrying across the border, rebuild the system once you're across.

If I was crossing the border and up to no good I wouldn't carry any electronics with me. I'd pick up what ever I needed after the border crossing and sync whatever needed syncing on the other side.
