Travelers face increasing risk of device searches at borders, potentially exposing sensitive data.

Build a tool that helps users temporarily move or encrypt sensitive files before trips, then restore them afterward. Could include 'clean device' modes and travel-specific checklists.

Charge as a subscription service for frequent travelers, with premium tiers for business users.

MVP could be a simple checklist and script to move files to secure cloud storage.

Risk includes legal gray areas around border security compliance.
