      No, use a burner phone. Don’t install any apps, and only have the most important numbers in there, if at all. Use a new mail account with it.

        Then you’ll be detained because obviously you got something to hide, let’s find out what!

          Can you buy a used iPhone 8 to use as a burner phone? It should not raise suspicion.
