Ya don't go. /s
But for real, so many better places to visit in the world.
But definitely remove biometrics at minimum.
If your OS allows you could setup a dummy user profile and have your phone on that at the border?
if you have grapheneos they just recently added the ability to set a "security pin" that starts an uninterruptable wipe with no restart needed. Just make sure its not something you can pocket fumble accidentally.
Don't try to wipe your device in airport security. That is a very bad idea. Just walk though and don't do anything that could be a threat. As it turns out the security people don't want to waste time.
