    It's not 'another nation-state' that worries me as until now it's almost exclusively the US that initiates agression upon agression without proper provocation.

    It would be much less complicated to back up your phone to a trusted, secure and only known to you, location and wipe it before you enter oppressive countries like the USA, Canada, and then re-sync it once you're out of the constitution free zone.
