>otherwise just bend over when they tell you…. right?

Make a software that makes your phone appear blank, and only share it with elite arisu hackers
but I'm not one so that's probably already a thing
guess you're too late

One part of full disk encryption is what's called "plausible deniability", or the ability to plausibly deny the idea that any data except for a small amount is actually encrypted. To do this, LUKS (the defacto standard for GNU/Linux full disk encryption) overwrites the disk with random data, then encrypts it, making the encrypted data indistinguishable from random data.
Besides, the US can't do soykaf to your encrypted drives. The minute they turn on your computer and a password prompt is given, they'll just give up because most customs officers / tsa employees / etc. are fucking brain dead.

Also, at least in the US, if LE orders you to decrypt / unlock / give them passwords to your drives you can technically deny them due to the fourth and fifth amendments in the US constitution. For example, in the case of your phone being taken away from you at the border, you could simply deny the LEO under the fourth amendment because they need probable cause and therefore a warrant to search your device. Another example would be that your laptop is seized at the border and LE demands you to decrypt it. You can then invoke your fifth amendment right, disallowing LE to force you to decrypt your drives. This is true for united states citizens and non citizens (see below article).

have you ever been stopped at a us border, or had your computers inspected?

I too have crossed US and other international borders several times recently, and the extent of my problems has been forgetting to put quite all of my electronics in a separate bin for the scanner.

I am curious about the experiences of someone who has attracted more attention. What did they want, and what was needed to satisfy them? Did they have an interest in devices like external hard disks (or general hard disks) or just in working computers (cellphones laptops etc)? If its not too prying, what exact airports did this occur at, and are there any details of your physical appearance, background, et cetera, that might incur above-average suspicion?

Additionally: as I understand it if you are a US citizen you _must_ be allowed into the US, the cbp can take your devices but they cannot block your entry into the country for noncooperation.

This podcast has some some good ideas, just bare through the 101 stuff they provide for the tech illiterate:
