The only way how to travel these days with notebooks while hiding your power level is to take out all your HDD/SSD from notebook and prepare distro on usb stick with any important data encrypted at some online cloud thing waiting for you.
The laws are getting more and more ridiculous and even airport security guy with a bad day can't put cp on your disk if you don't have any.
In the worst case scenario you have to just destroy your stick :-D
>>55414366
Or... encryption?
>>55414180
What if the device doesn't have any OS ?
>>55414146
Never in my life have I had my OS searched on my laptop at an airport.
>>55414146
They do that if your laptop looks suspicious through their scanners. They'll make you boot it up to make sure it's not been modified into an explosive. That's all fine, but as soon as the Linux kernel boot messages start scrolling up your screen they'll think you're a hacker and detain you for questioning.
>>55414423
Seems like you have never been to UK. Even now some politicians and policeman are thinking of putting encryption into illegality.
Also if the security guy wants to see your HDD content and you won't tell him pass, you may never get into plane in the first place.
Besides notebook without disk is lighter and therefore more portable :-)
>>55414708
Kek. Way back in the day we used to smuggle drugs in old electronics. There is A LOT of shit you can stuff inside a laptop without it being out of place on the xray or preventing the laptop from booting.
Not so much you can put inside a macbook, but dem thinkpads took half a kilo of shit each.
>>55414440
it depends on what you look like
>>55414079
TSA won't turn on your laptop. If you're travelling internationally customs will, but that's not TSA.
>>55414180
Big whoop. They probably have a shitload of lists with shitloads of people covering all kinds of retarded shit to the point of it being completely useless to them.
A tsa agent at JFK airport pointed to my laptop and asked if it was mine. When I said yes he just opened it up and swabbed it with something. He never even bothered to turn it on.

>Not having a fake windows partition that boots by default
Crossing from USA to Canada it is common to get detained for having an ANIME WALLPAPER, they will make you boot up and log in if you haven't travelled across the border before. This one guy got banned from using computers and internet for a year and ended up doing a plea deal for having weeb shit, AND IT WASNT EVEN LEWD. He literally just had an anime wallpaper, and some lame normie garbage mangas on his hdd

I found that case interesting as I travel to Canada, Japan, as well as other countries quite often from the US *with* obscene material (lewd wallpaper on laptop and physical hentai novels, manga, and doujin) without any problems. I wonder if it's certain types of people that trigger them. I mean, you'd think they'd stop a guy carrying multiple drives with him as carry-on including the aforementioned materials. Never once stopped nor questioned.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Yes, it is a shame that these days you can get screwed over from just about anything, but also having a little common sense is necessary.
How do you function as an adult, without ever having learned to hide your power level?
Secondly, how do you function as an adult without ever having grown up and leaving video games, cartoons, Mongolian cave drawings behind?

Will they really search my laptop while travelling to the US? Never had that happen on flights inside the EU or even returning from the UAE.
>>55424013
you should delete your trap material before traveling
>>55414079
Why are they even searching your laptop in the first place?
They have no right to search it unless you give them the right to do so.
https://s.ai/tsa/tsa_rights.pdf
They have the right to inspect your device in broad daylight but not the right to inspect it's data because that is a breach of personal Privacy and illegal by that extension.
They can however get a Police officer if they have "Valid Reasons" to search your laptop and said police officer will ask for software access to that device (He can, and he will apprehend you legally until your device is screened or until you give him access to the device in question).
Has for encryption forget about it if you fully encrypt your hard drive your fucked beyond relief.
There are laws on Key Sharing when you travel abroad (Except Canada if your travelling there your gucci you don't have to give them jack shit but you still have to let em in[The police if prompt])

Some places are more tolerant to revealing your power level than others. America is a good example.

Too much retarded here
I flew from Asia to USA without any hassle
Tips from me
1) If you have a laptop, DO NOT PUT IN IN CARRY ON, or they will search it
2)Dress like a "Professional/Casual" to remove suspicion
3)Change your wallpaper of your devices
4)Put all your data on your laptop ENCRYPTED (2 way, so that you could give them a fake password that still works)
5)Install Windows if you have any Linux distro installed and remove the Linux boot sequence
6)If you ever boot up your computer, just put some random excel spreadsheets to make you look professional
7)No metallic devices on you (especially the pointed ones)
8) Also, read before you fly anons
>>55424076

They don't have the authority to search your laptop it's against your own privacy.
You ask for their superior officer and if don't get him ask for a policeman to inspect the laptop.
Your privacy is only yours to protect, unless you actually have encrypted your laptop you don't have to give them jack shit.
All you have to do is calmly deny it and ask for the their superior or to ask for a police officer to inspect the device without sharing the passwords.

why should I care if I don't have cp and all the hentai I see are on the internet on some hentai page?

Yep.
When you cross the Canadian border into the US, the US border agents have legal right to make a full copy of your hard drive.

Friend went to prison for a few years, comes out a bitcoin fanatic.
I ask him how the fuck he even knows about bitcoin, since he's been in jail for the last 5 years.
He tells me about one of guards he made friends with, and how he was setting up bitcoin miners in his office and taking advantage of the free juice and internet.
lol
This would get me in jail in Canada.

there's a good reason you aren't an agent, you're more interested in chasing people who look like autists instead of terrorists
>>55414079
throw the damn thing in checked luggage if it's out of the ordinary
people bring all kind of shit on planes, as long as it's not in carry-on, you're generally good
admittedly, the answer is to get a separate travel laptop, and keep as much shit separate from it and your main machine -- if you travel enough, this is a must
shit, businesses do this on the off chance that wherever they're flying into might seize or interfere with the machine (particularly when travelling to China)
don't be an autist if you want/have to use Linux, use something that boots up all friendly looking like Xubuntu (and make sure it boots up looking friendly, doesn't drop to console to spew messages, no loli spread wide as the wallpaper, etc)

it'd totally get a CP accusation in Canada
on /jp/'s onahole thread, there was a story about a guy who got hit by a sting operation after buying a loli onahole from Amazon in Canada
like, America is fucking retarded and increasingly worrying to live in, but you can at least buy a piece of rubber with an vaguely lewd anime girl on the box to stick your dick into and forget about your problems

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

You don't have to decrypt but they can detain you indefinably at the border until you do.

Extrapolating the singular to the general. /g/ isn't science savvy is it?
>>55438130
I'm pointing out (like the other first couple replies) that not every laptop is booted up, and much less does anyone get salty about what OS is installed like the OP implies.
>>55434365
Enjoy prison, you fuckin' degenerate.
protip for autists who are about to travel: TSA only cares that the laptop turns on and doesn't explode. if you show up at the airport with a dead battery, expect to go through more scrutiny. yeah, it sucks having to interact with people and not look suspicious as fuck, but you knew when you were diagnosed with autism that your life would be harder.

You could put lots of explosive/drugs/watever else your masters dont allow you posses in a laptop, while it boot perfectly fine.

>If you don't want to be mistaken for a pedophile, maybe don't look like one.
The point is, pedophiles don't "look like" anything. Whenever somebody says that somebody "looks like a pedophile" it's always an unattractive man in his thirties, and it literally means nothing besides being an unprovoked insult against a stranger.

I fly pretty often for a college student.
Already 8 times at this point in the year with 4 more planned by December.
Travel with a computer and phone and they have never asked me to open/turn on the devices.
Is this a real thing? I thought this was an epic /g/ may may because I usually fly out of O'Hare and their security lines are so swamped they would never slow down the "meat grinder" for that shit.

No, I only have an internal 3.5" Zip drive
USB Zip drives are still available tho
