Mental note: When traveling internationally, back up phone to cloud somewhere and wipe it prior to traveling. Step two, restore from cloud after exiting airport.
Hell, I don't even have anything remotely questionable on my phone other than some Trump mocking memes, but there is absolutely no reason to chance it.
I do wish this was an easier sequence of steps to follow. I know I should, but it's so very much work.
