Don't encrypt it.
If you have an encrypted partition they will just force you to open it. It's also suspicious which will turn a 5 minute search into a 2 hour ordeal.
Thats a pretty wild claim given how most OS have default encryptions enabled or atleast available. Also file encryption is a thing.
Perhaps I wasn't clear.
Refusing to decrypt data on request is suspicious.
Always play stupid in these instances: I forgot the password; I got it second-hand and didn't know about that; Encrypt-a-what, now?
Maybe. It still seems like a dumb idea to me. Imagine getting detained and having to feign ignorance over a pirate tv series or something.
I've never had immigration ask to look at devices, if they did ask it would be because they're looking for... video evidence of crimes committed against minors. This gambit would make you look pretty guilty. If I were an official looking for that kind of contraband I'd make you sweat it out sitting in an interview room for a few hours just to see how nervous you got.
