It has to do with your argument of "if you don't like it, don't go there". Also, you specifically asked "who came for you" so it's direct answer to your question.

Well yes, just don't go there with incriminating devices.

They will try to bully us in many other ways but this has nothing to do with the devices and how to hide stuff.

Well, considering that the US considers some political beliefs and journalism crimes, "don't go there with incriminating devices" implies restrictions on free speech and journalistic freedom. Also, privacy is not only for hiding crimes. Equating privacy with criminality is a great way to get undermine people's rights further. It's perfectly ok to think that some random TSA agent shouldn't be seeing my family photos etc. when I have done nothing wrong.

If you believe these rights are not important, that's your own opinion. But I think it's perfectly valid to criticize attacks on human rights.

Exactly. If I plan to visit a country where green shirts are illegal, I'm not going to pack my green shirts into a secret hidden luggage compartment, smug in the knowledge that I'm so clever. I'm going to either not visit or not bring my green shirts.

Same for this. Whether we like it or not, some stuff on your phone are now considered contraband at the US border. Either don't bring them or don't visit.

Personally I would not go with any device at all I cannot afford to throw in a trashcan. You can buy a cheap one in the US anyway... For now.
