US customs can also request similar information tho I dont think they fine anyone.



If privacy is the traveler's concern, then perhaps they should just leave their regular phones at home.



Then go to the local 7 11 in the nation they are traveling to and buy a cheap disposible phone which they can destroy and dispose of before they leave the country. The 'dumber' or more basic/unsophisticated the phone the better. Either that or buy a completely new but inexpensive phone in your own country with a completely new sim card new phone number with no trace or history of calls or activity. Then chuck burn and destroy it before you leave the foreign destination you went to.



Yeah if I go travelling abroad, then I won't take my regular phone either.



Thanks for the tip.

Yeah but it seems like they want to herd people into the cloud, because they can access it.
Blahhhhhh...

I've always been against the cloud.
I've come here to chew bubble gum, and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

They never did me and I have a waiver.

The rub there is that they must have "reasonable cause".



I'd love to to see how they'd establish THAT.

A very progtard country. But, they are also realists. They are a small country and they need trade and to  develop resources.

Strange bunch, really.

We are worse.

Mmmm...I'm not sure...met a few Canucks, and they're a bit more fun and friendly. Kiwis have chips on their shoulders the size of small logs.



I think it's because they are the smallest of the anglo-saxon nations.

I thought they were pretty friendly overall. Except the Maoris. They like their liquor and got tempers on them. They are like brown Ukrainians.
