Solo travel security isn't just physical awareness; it's a digital baseline.

🛡️ Worried About Device Searches at the U.S. Border? You Should Be.

As CBP searches of personal electronics increase, experts are urging travelers to prepare in advance—especially noncitizens, journalists, and human rights defenders.

📌 What you can do:
・Power down & log out before crossing
・Disable biometrics—use a strong passcode
・Travel with temporary devices and encrypt key data
・Avoid SMS-based 2FA; opt for app-based alternatives
・Protect sensitive contacts or use clean persona accounts

Digital privacy isn’t just for hackers—it’s a necessary skill for anyone navigating international borders in the surveillance era.

Not only can you wear your #fannypack (or #bumbag #hipPouch etc) in front so you can keep an eye on it. you can also wear it backward. With the zippers facing your body, it will make it harder for others to dig into. Not convenient for normal use, but good for an #airport/#busStation/#trainStation nap or just the walk through a space that you know you won't need immediate pack-access while in

You can "#lock" (latch) one-zipper #pouch pockets as well, using that same strap-loop (referenced in the other toot) and a #carabiner

You can make it that much harder for someone to unclip your #fannyPack/#hipPack/#bumBag/#slingPack/etc with a little bit of #paracord and a #squareKnot (#reefKnot).

Can they still steal it? Yes. Is this one more step making it a little less likely? Yes
