If you plan to enter the USA be aware they could take away your phone and search it, too.
So keep three phone numbers in your mind(!) (not only in your phone):
1. home contact knowing what to do if you are detained.
2. US contact knowing what to do.
3. a US legal rights assistant.
And clean your phone of anything
- Trump/USA critical
- media (texts, pictures, videos, social media posts, ...) containing nudity, drugs, (toy) weapons, slang expressions, ...
- contacts/phone numbers you not really need

An updated #Introduction for 2025:
I’m a mom, #cat whisperer, #maker, avid #reader, #gamer, and #dice goblin. I’m a #chemistry #professor and #education #researcher. I love #traveling, #cooking, #photography, #tattoos and #3Dprinting. Ich spreche und lese etwas Deutsch. I use #Mac and #Linux machines and bought a mechanical keyboard for my birthday. I love #DnD and my #SteamDeck. #Masotodon is my primary social media and I love it here.
I contain multitudes. So do you.
Never have I received so many invitations from #PR agencies to, please, attend a #conference in the US. #Flight and #hotel paid for.
This tells me: I am not the only #journalist who is not #traveling to the #US at this time.
