I have worked for employers that required taking a burner phone to certain countries without any accounts logged in, etc. (so mostly for calls, maps, and web browsing) and nobody has ever been detained or denied entry. Some countries know that this is just standard procedure when they are visited for business trips. Probably different for the US though.

(Not legal advise of course, just observation. Always check with the legal department of your employer, etc.)

After cornering themselves into being labeled an unsafe destination (long overdue imho), the US are gonna have to learn being treated as such.

"I'm here for business and my employer requires it" is an acceptable excuse. "I don't like government surveillance" is not.
