Gentlemen,
After a failed second attempt at domestic tranquility, I am back in the game and planning a trip to the Land of Smiles. I would like to see how it compares to Colombia.
Many of you here are experts in international mongering, and your tips have been invaluable in helping me plan my trip. Let me return the favor by giving some advice in an area I have some small knowledge of. USA Federal law, and border crossing in particular. There has been some good advice given below, and some advice I would avoid. First, a brief explanation of the jurisprudence behind USA Border law. Anytime you attempt to enter the you. S, you are subject to search, seizure, arrest, inspection, inquires and examinations. Each of these things are triggered by a certain threshold of suspicion. What you must note is that this threshold is greatly reduced at the border crossing vs. Other areas, such as the monger below who had a friend who was a State detective. Briefly:
- Search: requires no warrant or probable cause (U. S v. Ramsey, 1977). This includes electronic devices. Right now, the circuit courts are split regarding warrantless searches of electronic devices, and SCOTUS refuses to address the issues. This means that, boots on the ground, devices are being searched daily with no warrant or probable cause. Not only can they search, they can copy your entire device, send you on your way, and then send that copy to a forensics lab to search. Entrants can be forced to unlock devices (or jailed until they do), and destructive searches authorized if reasonable suspicion exists. Even strip searches only require reasonable suspicion. That is the lowest threshold of suspicion and easily gained by an experienced officer. They also have the option of a customs / border search. This search allows them to look for anything that pertains to merchandise entering the USA Merchandise is defined as anything intended to be bought, sold, consumed or that may be subject to taxes / tariffs. This type of search is broad and deep, and requires only reasonable suspicion.
- Seizure: Any person or item may be seized provided there is reasonable suspicion of intent to cross a border. This includes electronic devices, which may be seized and possibly not returned.
- Arrest: does require a warrant or probable cause. Note that officers can, and do, become creative when looking for probable cause. Also note that if you are arrested (or "detained") on a border crossing, you can be released later at the officer's discretion, with no charges filed, and with no legitimate or actionable complaint. In other words, they can and do use arrest / detention as an intimidation tool to gain compliance.
Inspection. Officers may 'inspect" any and everything that you cross the border with that may full under an administrative inspection law. This is technically not a search and does not require any suspicion.
Inquire. Officers may make in-depth inquires to you regarding your attempt to cross the border. They may hold you for an extended time, limit your access to a lawyer (you have no right to council if you are not a USA Citizen).
Examinations. Officers may examine, in-depth and at their leisure, your papers, papers and effects.
Also be aware that you. S citizens can, and have been, prosecuted for violating USA Law abroad (RJR Nabisco Inc. V. European Community (2016)). This is normally reserved for things like RICO violations, [CodeWord908], narcotics, capital crimes, etc. However, the potential exists for any crime.
So how does this pertain to you, the returning monger? First, never attempt to bring anything that might be illegal into the you. S on an electronic device. You may get away with it a time or two, but you will eventually get caught and your mongering days will be over. If you have anything that might be questionable, leave it in the host country, destroy it, etc. Second, interact with a border officer the same way you would with any USA Officer while out mongering: be polite, stay silent beyond the required questions, and never admit to anything. If you are detained, always request a lawyer before talking; doubly so if you are innocent.
As someone mentioned below, most officers know why you went to Bangkok as a single man. Some might do the same thing. But you never know what kind of officer you will get, and if you get the wrong one, they can make your life a living hell trying to re-enter. When questioned, reply that you travel for pleasure and enjoy sightseeing, thai boxing, scuba, etc. You are happy to be home after a nice vacation. That is all they need to know. Understand that they can, and may search any and everything, including you, when you try to cross the border. Never admit to anything that is illegal in the you. S, like drugs or prostitution.
Take this advice as you see fit. Good hunting and stay safe.

Many countries make it illegal to fuck hookers, and under the age and other men of course. So a guy can be suspected of a lot more than just getting a fuck. Can be searched for under the age porn images etc. USA and Australia are not very alike in levels of puritanical stuff and bible bashing. Some USA guys call home the "Sex prison" or something like that. One cannot easily go get a nice hooker for fuck (or so we are led to believe). Risks are involved. Doing hookers in Australia is quite legal I believe. Just that good ones are probably nearly all Asian. Not legal in Sweden. Can one get a fuck from the Thai girls in Sweden? Perhaps, but be very careful. Most of the Thai girls are working as waitresses, or Hotel room cleaners, or Nail clinic staff, etc. (at least the ones I met there).

I have noted that when I first start sex with a condom I think I will be able to come, but then I will hold off, then before I know it, I feel dead down there as I lose sensitivity and be unable to come. A few minutes of rest may help regain the sensitivity, but as I know there are ladies waiting for me down the street, unless possibly BB is offered and provided I accept the offer (and I often do not), I will pass. I mean, failing to come with one girl means the possibility of coming with another!

All our data in the cloud is analyzed by the companies offering those services, and potentially various governments (the companies get no benefit for refusing gov't requests). Those companies might be discreet with what the do with the results, but they certainly look at and analyze the data. Even if nothing happens today, analysis algorithms and government surveillance programs are always improving and expanding, so they'll be able to extract more useful data on you later.
Cloud data is only private when it comes to other users accessing it (most of the time, barring security breaches). To make things worse, there are multiple levels of backup, and once you put anything in the cloud, you can never truly delete it.
If you need to protect something, encrypt it locally (then you may upload it to the cloud, if you must, though it doesn't improve security). There are various ways and procedures for doing this, all with different pros/cons.
