Travelers who refuse to hand over their phone or laptop passwords to customs officials may be slapped with a NZ$5...

>Travelers who refuse to hand over their phone or laptop passwords to customs officials may be slapped with a NZ$5,000 (US$3,250) bill. It’s part of the Customs and Excise Act 2018, which came into effect Oct. 1. The legislation allows what some are calling “digital strip-searches”—officials are authorized to go through the files saved to it while the device is in flight mode. If travelers don’t unlock their devices with a password, fingerprint or PIN code, they will have “committed an offence,” the act says, and be “liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $5,000.”

I guess it's time to keep everything on some encrypted server and remote into it when I travel?

>I guess it's time to keep everything on some encrypted server and remote into it when I travel?
Yeah but then having a new phone/laptop with everything in stock condition might be suspicious too... I'm guessing if you travel for business it might be more legitimate since companies can issue a dedicated phone/laptop for traveling due not wanting company files to be compromised.

U still get fined you idiot. If you cannot unlock the device you bring in you might be smuggling illegal electronic media

Just put your stuff in your luggage

>Yeah but then having a new phone/laptop with everything in stock condition might be suspicious too...
... and there is nothing they can do about it. You comply with the law by providing the credentials to the device, it does not state anything about disclosing credentials that the device connects to.

Load your phone with pics of dicks and give a lustful stare at your customs officer.

>phone dies
>charger broke
>rushing to get on plane
>get fined for not having a charged phone

Technology is dead to me.

Mine already has my poop diary, for medical purposes. What went in and what came out, unsorted.

>he unironically stores his nudes on his phone

It's not like I ever planned on going there in the first place.
But the solution is to keep anything important on a small micro sd card and hide it.

>customs officer found the poop diary

I was born there. The Navy moved my dad back to the States when I was 2, but I wonder if they'd give a natural-born Kiwi the same level of bullshit.

The solution is to have a device so thoroughly broken through personal customization that the customs official is unable to operate it. This is why linux is superior.

>The password is "5791". If you can't figure out how to type it in, that's your problem.

Sir we have chargers in the detention area come with me

yeah, no.

>2001+17

JUST

why would I even go to NZ

If you forgot the password/pin, just do a factory reset. Easy.

security by obscurity is shit lmoa
they'll just plug your phone into some magic box and dump all your data if theyre even slightly suspicious of you

is a good solution if you still keep some unimportant data on your laptop or whatever

Always reset before travel. Do a restore once you get there.

Sure, but you can't blame not knowing your own password

What are they checking anyway?

Can the "magic box" be used as a reverse vector of attack? can I maliciously mess with something connected without consent to my machine, besides it screaming
>RAPE, RAPE

>traveling
AHAHAHAHAHA FUCKING NORMIE ACTIVITY

Welp never going to new zealand
>smuggling illegal electronic media
You need a loicense fo that
>don't unlock it
>get fined
That simple user. They're not going to let you off the hook because you """forgot"""" the password.

>I guess it's time to keep everything on some encrypted server and remote into it when I travel?
It has been time for that a couple of years now. Haven't you been paying attention to the news?

Recently I visited America as a tourist. I did a clean install on my laptop and factory reset my phone, just in case. I wasn't searched and it's probably very rare, but why take any chances.

Change my password to kiwis are pedophiles.

>not wanting to see The Shire

kek great idea user

So just don't pay it? If you left New Zeland customs and live somewhere else, how the fuck are they going to enforce the fine on you? Unless you plan on going back but why would you want to.

This is literally anywhere OP

Cross into USA and get chosen for secondary inspection? If you dont give them your password you are rejected right there
Same for Canada

I’ve already seen the movie

>Going to New Zealand
>ever

TOP KEK

My password is suckit.

What if it is my work laptop and i am strictly prohibited from giving password ro anybody and it contains commercial secret?

i would set the password to "fuck you nigger" before I had to give it to them

maybe the customs officer is from england and likes the BBC

My password is 'officer I already told you my password'.

How tech savvy are they actually?

Just don't bring a phone or laptop with me :)

Simple, just have a partition with a normie Windows installation, a few random documents, maybe one or two nude pictures. But then when you get past them you can go back to your encrypted partition with all the illegal stuff.

You can't plead the fifth in poo pee land

What a third world shithole. Good thing no sane person has a reason to visit such a disgusting country.

Huh. So I guess New Zealand is off my list of potential places to visit then.

Sorry if I sound naive but what does a person's computer tell about the person? I kept videos of Iraq war on my PC because I liked it. Not beheadings just Sandnigger snipers and shit. Does that make me a terrorist?
What are they gonna look for?

Kek, this means I'm not actually allowed to visit the country by my government

>bring blank devices
>download all your filth from a remote server

I wish this 'decrypt devices' meme would die, it's just dumb.

Imagine being a customs officer, get to look through hot girls phones all day every day.

Living in New Zealand, when I saw this a few weeks ago, it was a bit concerning, as in WTF.
But in reading the legistaltion they can only use this new law if they have knowledge or grounds to belive a crime has been or about to be commited.
It does not allow then to stop everyone, or even randomly pick people out for spot checks which they can do for drink and drug driving road side test (thats written diffrently).
If they stop you and ask for access they will have to have good evedntual reason to back up thier request.

So what if my phone has all the apps with storage access locked with another pin? Am I forced to hand over encryption keys to my secondary hard drive? What if I log him in as a limited user, not an administrator? Does the faggot rummaging through my digital luggage even know what a fucking dual boot is?

>BE criminal
>off to nz fo yet another swindle
>asked for password or be fined
>lol no
>pay like a boss and move forward to your shady schemes

Good jab kiwitrads

> belive a crime has been or about to be commited
I believe it is so, surrender your devices right now.
> they will have to have good evedntual reason to back up thier request.
Tourists and non-citizens are gullible, they won't ask for evidence, most probably.

Ask them about that on arrival.

>not having a dumb phone for traveling abroad

it's not a good idea to carry around a shiny smartphone, in some places it just makes you a target for thievery or worse

>your country being so shit you have to start finding a reason to fine business people and/or tourists

Customs will bar you entry anyway

Brainlet meme

this. but those kiwifags can fuck right off with this kind of shit.

What's the point of this? If you are a criminal you will just pay the fine and on your way, this just fucks over innocent citizens.

>smuggling illegal electronic media
i'm sure the most efficient way to do that is in person on physical media man kiwis are so smart

mate they will just tell YOU to unlock it
and if you continue to refuse then they'll slap you with the fine

based and bullypilled

Holy shit New Zealand is such a shithole of a country LAMO.

this. curious too about sensitive materials.

>get chosen for secondary inspection
only happens to shitskins and drumpftards in this country sorry honey

More countries to boycott. Oh well.

easy for rooted Android users.

make nandriod backup, wipe every partition. tell them its broken, they turn it on, nothing happens, connect to PC, nothing happens and can't access media. restore nandriod when through customs.

What if it's one of those USB drives that kill themselves if you get the password wrong? Would you be fined for data that no longer exists?

>they can only use this new law if they have knowledge or grounds to belive a crime has been or about to be commited

Once again the stupid goyim fall for verbal trickery. The phrase means they can just make up whatever bullshit reason they please to have a rifle through your phone and see what they can find.

You have no idea how law enforcement in NZ works lol

>not hiding your valuable data in plain sight
Just overload your device with junk data and scatter what you want to hide around. You're concerned about a selfie of you and an Islamic terrorist ? Just throw it in a folder full of photos of your pet. Want to hide the secret plan to breach into the caveau of a bank? Have it sit within a shitload of boring powerpoints about some corporate bullshit.

>make image of device hdd
>encrypt it
>wipe everything off device
>travel
>customs asks you the password to your device
>"sure officer no problem :)"

>dowloaded encrypted image

>have exactly the same device as you did before
So.. what exactly is the point of these checks? To catch the most brainlet retarded 60iq subhumans?

>NZ
Why even go there? It's literally the trash can of Europe, attractive only to Poojeets and Ching Chongs.

5th amendment doesn't work with fingerprint scanners because your finger print is considered "public" and therefore not a violation of the 5th amendment.

You have no rights apart from the country you come from.
Shitty, but you know before you fly or move so just drop a new ssd in and stop crying.
Post an encrypted disk after.

my rom has a forced lock mode and encrypted boot up password.

if phone is off you have to enter the password (which I made sure isn't the swipe type because I don't think that's covered either) which prevents phone from booting. then once it boots, you enter it again. once you do this then fingerprint scanner will work. if I hold down the power button and hit "lock", I have to enter the password even if I use my fingerprint. if I just turn the screen off (which locks it), fingerprint will unlock without a password. I have this setup specifically so I can either lock or turn off my phone to be covered by 5th.

>they'll just plug your device into some magic box
Even assuming you have literally nothing that could be incriminating on your device, I would still like to fuck with them as much as I can legally, so I would be using the most obscure, most unsupported FS I possibly could. Maybe btrfs, zfs, BeFS, or something else.

Would technically be destruction of evidence, but you might be able to get around it literally by just saying "I guess it's broken"

LineageOS?

I'd just load tons of loud JAV porn on there and lock the vol to max and have a good time.

The second they stop me they already judged me a degenerate at least I'll give them a good show.

Unlikely. The new Zealand economy relies on tourism so much that bad press like that would be insane.
It'll be used for people who have like cocaine residue on their bags. They wouldn't just randomly pick you out and rifle through your shit.

Am i worried, fuck yes, my country doing that is a huge invasion of privacy, but I don't think it's as bad as what you goyims point out. Worrying, yes, end of the world, no.
Hell to go through, not in, just through, the United States they take all of my fingerprints and were thinking of taking dna as well. THAT is fucked.

Back in my day, traveling with a book and a ipod was just fine.

>NZ
>Europe

Are you intentionally this retarded or did your education system really suck so much ass you somehow got the wrong fucking hemisphere.

Excellent point to raise.
I used to work in a hospital, and my work laptop sometimes had sensitive information on it (patient records doctor contact info etc), wouldn't want to just let any random NZ customs officer have that

>get rejected right there
Not if you're a US citizen returning to the US. They can detain you, but they can't prevent you from entering the US.

>Traveling to nigger countries
You had it coming

nailed it bud i live here and it fucking sucks well it's ok for 2 months january/february rest of the time its a cold grey shithole like england

Where the fuck do you live? Fucking Invercargill. Shittiest city on Earth? Sounds like you come from some shithole on the south or central North island. Consider being less of a retard and moving somewhere worth being.

Similar story here.

I have confidential data on my laptop from government agencies I do work for.
Nothing that interesting, mostly just personal information on citizens, but it's illegal for me to share it.

Show NDA?

I literally just boot off a fedora live instance installed on an SD card when I'm traveling. My main drive(s) are encrypted and I don't keep them mounted while I'm at the airport. I'll just have chrome open with some jimmy fallon or whatever the fuck on youtube open and I suspend the laptop when going through customs.
gnome looks like android so it's fine with normies, my dwm setup would get me arrested kek

Couldn't you just set it up so you get some kind of stock generic desktop until you enter a certain key combination and a password to unlock the rest of the PC? Then you could just say "oh yeah it's an empty PC I clean it out before traveling so everything is kept fresh and relevant to my trip."

Isn't the nature really nice?

I probably would like to spend a holiday in New Zealand if it wasn't so far away.

yeah 15.1

Actually this is a better idea. Just boot a throwaway secondary OS.

>Why even go there?
it's well known to be the country with the thirstiest women

Buy a burner phone for internaitinal travel. Same for laptop. Also, fuck NZ
