The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Now, if you were to do this...unusual thing and mail ship your cell phone to your country of destination rather than carry it on your person like nearly everyone else, and the government found out you were doing it,

Nah. Clearly the strategy is to back up the phone to the cloud, wipe the phone at the departing airport, pass through security at the receiving airport, reinstall to the phone once through. If you’re into irony, use the government provided airport WiFi to do it.

You get to jump the hurdle while not jumping the hurdle at all. Doesn’t work for drugs though.
