Context

ANSSI, France’s national cybersecurity agency, recommends never leaving equipment unattended while traveling and, on return, having it checked by your security officer if its integrity is in doubt [1, pp. 16-17 and 26-27]. CERT-FR reports a case in which phones were allegedly confiscated and then compromised near police stations and border posts, and advises switching your phone off completely when you have to part with it [2, p. 13].
