Things I Learned Traveling to Egypt

By Wesley Fryer On November 20, 2017 · Tagged With: android, customs, inspection, iphone, privacy, rights, surveillance, travel · 2 Comments

The past few days I had an opportunity to travel to Cairo, Egypt, to present and participate in the 2017 EduForum Conference and also do a little sightseeing. Since sharing my second TEDx talk in November 2016, "Digital Citizenship in the Surveillance State," I've continued to read and research about data privacy issues especially as they apply to smartphones, laptops, and international travel. As a result of that research as well as frequent conversations on "The EdTech Situation Room" with Jason Neiffer, I learned a number of things in the weeks leading up to this trip as well as on the trip about privacy and surveillance that I'd like to share. In addition, this was my first trip to leave all my Apple and iOS devices at home, instead traveling with our family 11" Dell Chromebook ($200) and a Motorola 4E Plus (4th Gen) Android smartphone ($146). My primary reasons for making these hardware changes for this international trip were security and privacy concerns. If you have questions, feedback or suggestions on any of the lessons I outline in this post, please leave a comment below or reach out via Twitter to @wfryer. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, and none of the lessons learned or ideas shared in this post should be construed as legal advice.
