I was asked to step aside and follow an officer for further passport checks when I landed in Chicago.

Later a lady came in carrying hand-cuffs.

Turns out there was an error with the SEVIS number and I could leave after 10 minutes.

I wish phone OEMs and app developers generalized the use of decoy codes leading into whatever benign environment you’re prepared to show to others. Would make life easier and not just for crossing one specific border, but also safety and privacy in general

Wing it. I was thinking to delete warpcast. To do it properly you’ll have to do it with all of your devices.
