DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE US!

“‘I learned with concern that a French researcher,’ on a mission for the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), ‘who was going to a conference near Houston was banned from entering American territory before being expelled,’ said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). ‘This measure was allegedly taken by the American authorities because this researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friendly relationships in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy,’ he added.”

Submitting your unlocked phone for inspection (out of your sight) when requested, has been a condition of entry to the US for several years now. There was a famous case a while ago, where a member of NASA JPL was detained when returning to the is US from a trip and he refused because he had top secret info on it.
