But this is okay! After all if you are not breaking the law, you have nothing to hide, and no reason to feel worried! Privacy is smoke screen criminals are making up to obstruct the justice!
Also, if you aren't rich and can't afford security work arounds, your paltry bank accounts can't be seriously injured by bad government actors who might be tempted to sell your info to identity thieves.
All I know is that this makes me feel safer, because as we know New Zealand is the number one target and nexus of international terrorism. With this move, I suspect peace will break out in the Middle East within days, weeks at most.
Easy peasy, I would pay $3000 to bring my terrorist organizations nuke plans from NZ in the dropbox folder where i downloaded them from instagram. Because that's how real terrorists do it.
but they won't look at cloud storage (honest - the law even says so) so why don't you just leave those plans on the server until you're through customs - of course than you have to go to all the trouble of, ya know, clicking a hyperlink...
You seem certain that they won't look at cloud storage. I say Snowden revelations suggests we assume they can look at cloud storage. Even if NZ can't, US or EU or whoever else has access will share with an allied state.
Part of the plot. See The Super Rich of Silicon Valley Have a
Doomsday Escape Plan in Bloomberg online from a month ago. After all, they have their underground NZ bunkers and everyone else should just go away. /s (just kidding)
Tedious but doable is wiping devices before arrival, so they end up seeing a "stock" device with no personal data.
I'm rather surprised to discover on my Lineage OS 14.1 phone, that Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset > RESET PHONE does not actually delete everything like the description suggests: following such a reset, I still see files in the Files app when I click on my phone model: all of those directories still contain files and photos. So...yeah.
In theory when reformatting from TWRP, the mkfs should come with a trim command that ought to blow away all user data and the cache. But the thing is, you have to know what to format because Android has so many goddamn partitions.
Next chapter is when they demand you give them your social media account credentials. What you don't have a Facebook account? Liar! Off to prison!
I think the smarter terrorists will easily find ways around this. For instance by encoding the secret info inside of publicly accessible images via Steganography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography
