Is the best strategy here to leave your devices at home and just bring a burner phone on holiday or other travels and no other devices?

It's strange as an ordinary citizen who might choose to contribute to someone like Manning's defence fund, or post statements supportive of Snowden online, to have to consider that GCHQ or the Homeland Security might put your name on a list for questioning and confiscation at the border, requiring drastic action like this.

Given the abuse of them in many countries including the US and UK (which was inevitable), I can't see any case for these powers of arbitrary detainment and confiscation to be given to the police in any country.
