I've mulled/wished for this for years. Also useful at borders, where in the past I have actually been asked (required) to unlock phones and laptops. Generally you have no rights whatsoever there.

Those shadow accounts would need to be 'lived in' to pass those border checks. My worst experience was traveling with new, obviously burner devices


border agents were extremely suspicious.

Country borders? If so, what countries?

[–] Scirocco@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Virtually every international border on the planet.

Well that's just not true I've crossed international borders before and have never had to do this.
