Option one: just don't go to the USA
Option two: if you really have to go, don't take your phone.
Option three: if you really need a phone, take a burner
Be sure to not have any Google or Hotmail account, as in unsure about their "powers" to force you to login to your email accounts. Have a non US mail provider at the very least.
