I'm having a big problem getting on to this site. Sometimes it takes more than an hour. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get on quicker?

Guys are starting to use SWBJ as an abbreviation for Saran Wrap BJ, also for the Saran Wrap Pouch BJ. I do now. Opinions on getting SWBJ added to the official Abbreviations List. Seems like it should, based on the common AMP usage now. Just a thought.

Anyone ever had their google voice account suspended? Was fine this afternoon and now suspended. Would be a bummer to lose the contacts. Would be worse if there's some kind of investigation tied to it. Is that just paranoia?

No. But I've had it where it wouldn't send messages to new numbers after several messages to different ones. When I was pig shopping, I've messaged different ads and then after 5 or so, it refused to message any new ones until the next day. Numbers that you've already had conversations with will still work. Looked up the reason and most users said that it's Google's rules to prevent robocalls.

Good info. Am I correct in recalling that if they get access to the phone only information physically on the phone is allowed to be accessed. Anything they need to have you download from the cloud is out of bounds, right?

On that same page:

Does CBP search information that is stored remotely (in the cloud)?
The border search will only include an examination of information that is resident upon the device at the time it is presented for inspection. CBP officers may not use the device to access information that is solely stored remotely.
Prior to beginning a basic or advanced search, CBP Officers will ensure all data and network connections are disabled. To avoid retrieving or accessing information stored remotely and not otherwise present on the device, CBP Officers will either request that the traveler disable connectivity to any network (e.g., by placing the device in airplane mode, disabling Bluetooth and disabling Wi-Fi), or the CBP Officer will themselves disable network connectivity.

So your recollection would appear to be correct.

Using a PIN is fine for regular police searches, as getting the contents of a phone requires a separate warrant from the one for the physical phone, but that doesn't apply to CBP searches. Those are warrantless for both physical and content searching. If they want to do an advanced search (connecting it to external hardware / software), then that requires reasonable suspicion and elevated approval (though still no warrant, apparently). From https://www.cbp.gov/travel/cbp-searc...tronic-devices:

And:

They probably don't care about the hobby, but if you're concerned at all, protect yourself.

I'm also a bit worried about US border,. Coming back. All this stupid shit about phone search or seizure. Not sure if they care about the hobby, but who knows. Might have to take a burner with me.

At minimum change your phone from Face I'd to PIN code. There is (for the moment) more protection in court rulings against being forced to hand over a pin.

From https://www.cbp.gov/travel/cbp-searc...tronic-devices:

Under CBP policy, advanced searches require reasonable suspicion of a violation of law enforced or administered by CBP or a national security concern and require the approval of a senior manager (at a Grade 14 level or higher, or a manager with comparable responsibilities) prior to conducting the search

And:

Pursuant to CBPs border search authority explained above, when presenting their effects for inspection, all travelers are obligated to present their electronic devices and the information resident on the device in a condition that allows for the examination of the device and its contents. If the electronic device cannot be inspected because it is protected by a passcode or encryption or other security mechanism, that device may be subject to exclusion, detention, or other appropriate action or disposition. Additionally, the traveler may face longer processing times to allow for CBP to access the contents of the device.
...
If a traveler being admitted as a U.S. citizen does not present their device in a condition that allows for examination, the U.S. citizen traveler will not be denied entry into the United States based on CBPs inability to complete an inspection of their device. However, as noted above, their device may be subject to exclusion, detention, or other appropriate action or disposition.

They probably don't care about the hobby, but if you're concerned at all, protect yourself.

Fully agree on Montreal over NYC or anywhere else within a days drive if MA but keep in mind many up there are not fans of Americans in the political climate, tarrifs, etc. That said they still may be very happy to take your $.

Montreal for the win. Competitive rates and discount due to exchange rate. Agencies or independents both aplenty. MERB is where you can find most reviews on girls. Also great food.

Most of the time, it's because someone reported your number as spam.

Luckily it was reviewed and restored as of this morning.
