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?

When dealing with the police, be very, very careful what you say to them directly. Be polite, be patient, but be pithy.

And don't be black, make sure to generously apply white face

Doesn't the US have the right to remain silent? Serious question—I thought it did. The advice here is to always stfu when cops try to speak to you, until you either get advice from a lawyer or very specific questions you can answer to expedite your release. If you have the right to remain silent I'd always suggest you exercise that right, and not even make "polite" small talk, just say nothing or "no comment".
