Hi all,

I am travelling soon to the US, for my vocation and as a long-time private person I will be taking some steps to maintain my privacy as I enter the country.

As this is an interesting area of the topic, I have decided to throw the question open to all of you.

What precautions (IT, physical, mental, otherwise) do you undertake when travelling internationally?

It happens frequently if you're bussing into the US. Using a poor person's method of travel makes them very suspicious

Ah, makes sense. My coworker is from Mexico, and he says it's best to either walk or drive into the US, don't take transit.
