Why would you think they have the right to access your devices traveling to anywhere outside the USA? US law enforcement agencies do not have any powers or authority overseas and based on their current relationship with most foreign countries, unless you're planning on traveling to Russia, I wouldn't be too concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 No but Oz may choose to access my phone if the USA decide to check all travellers and put said travellers on a list somewhere. Unlikely and I’m harmless, but they’re sweeping up innocents by the truckload in the USA so this is where it starts. I’m probably wrong but I’ve decided that the risk of some 20 yr old Twonk with access to some industrial strength Ai in a faceless doge office somewhere, might think that international passenger lists are a good place to trawl to boost their quota. It would be never mean my detention for anything but interactions with airport folk can ruin yer day. Ergo no bait from me for twonk fisher folk.

Coss Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 you are correct, but I still don't know how much of the air industry's systems are US influenced i.e in terms of air ticket space: Global Distribution Systems (GDS) These are the largest and most influential platforms in the worldwide air ticket booking ecosystem: Amadeus: The world's largest GDS, accounting for about 40% of global GDS transactions. It is especially dominant in Europe and has the biggest global market share footprint. Sabre: Originating from American Airlines, Sabre is a major GDS with strong presence in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions. It serves over 400,000 travel agencies in more than 160 countries. Travelport: This company operates three major GDS brands—Galileo, Worldspan, and Apollo—and is active in 180 countries worldwide. Abacus: A leading GDS in the Asia-Pacific region, now owned by Sabre Holdings, serving over 100,000 travel agents across 59 markets. etc. Security is not really something I can find out about. but: Most countries utilize a common air industry security system based on ICAO’s global standards, particularly Annex 17 and the Global Aviation Security Plan.These frameworks ensure a coordinated, risk-based approach to aviation security worldwide, with each country responsible for implementing and maintaining effective security measures in line with international best practices. In my paranoia, I reckon it would not be a stretch, for a 20 yr old Twonk to make a notification somewhere that is shared internationally. I posted elsewhere here, about getting 2 carryon bag searches, when I arrived in Bangkok from Laos, before I boarded a flight to Oz. Walk walk search, walk walk search, walk walk board flight. It wasn't just me, there were others, but annoying. Given the search before I boarded the Lao-Bkk flight, I thought the 2 in Bkk were unnecessary. My suspicions of how far American (or other) "security" extends into the rest of the world, remain. And no I don't think I'm personally in focus, just annoyed that it seems impossible to travel without something interfering with my journey.
