Trump banned passengers from carrying electronics besides cell phones (in carry on pieces) on direct flights from Jordan, Egypt, Istanbul, Turkey, UAE, Saudia, Kuwait, Morocco and Qatar, and the UK has followed suit excluding only a few countries like UAE and Qatar. Effectively screwing over students returning from these countries after summer break, and just generally being a nuisance to people
How easy is it for officials to access your devices if they're in a checked bag?
Excerpts:
“The ban prohibits passengers flying to the U.S. from select airports in Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates from carrying laptops, tablets, e-readers, cameras, DVD players, some game systems and more, though smartphones are allowed. This could subject around 6.75 million passengers to the possibility of placing their devices and data into the hands of government officials on multiple continents over the next 12 months.”

“You might remember Cellebrite, the Israeli company that helped the FBI crack the encryption on a phone that belonged to a perpetrator of the 2015 mass-shooting in San Bernardino, California. Cellebrite devices can copy data from laptops and other electronics simply by being physically connected to them. Once connected, Cellebrite users can select how much data they'd like to take. With such technology, agents wouldn't need to ask for your password if they wanted your data.
The company has contracts with many U.S. government agencies, including Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). With such technology, agents wouldn't need to ask for your password if they wanted your data.
Bradley Shear, a lawyer with expertise in social data, said the main way to protect yourself is to limit the data on the devices you travel with.
If you can afford a second laptop, it might make sense to travel with a small laptop free of much of the data you keep on the other one. If that's not an option, make sure to back up your data on a separate drive that stays at home, or at least put your information on the cloud.
"Whatever you're bringing with you, you've gotta be prepared that there's going to be a very invasive security screening," Shear said. ”
While seemingly against the rules, Judge Juan Merchan has given no indication whether the president’s son will face any kind of punishment.
Eric Trump was spotted tweeting in the middle of his dad’s trial on Monday by a NBC News reporter—an apparent violation of rules put in place by Judge Juan Merchan that ban the use of electronics inside the New York City courtroom. There was no indication on whether Eric, Donald Trump’s second youngest son, will face punishment or not. Eric has regularly appeared in the first pew behind Trump at his hush-money trial, often sharing his displeasure with the proceedings on X. On Monday, Eric reportedly didn’t wait to fire off his thoughts on the trial, tweeting during the testimony of Michael Cohen—his dad’s former fixer who’s now the prosecution’s star witness against him. “I have never seen anything more rehearsed,” Eric wrote, alluding to Cohen’s testimony. Cohen has repeatedly spoken about his sketchy work for Trump, including at his own trial where he was ultimately sentenced to prison, and it is common for witnesses to rehearse portions of testimony in advance. NBC News reported that it spotted Eric on his phone apparently making the post, which went live at 10:51 a.m. while court was in session.
