Ultimate Travel Security Tips MOST People Don't Do

[@Proximax9]

Fun fact: finnair was not reaponsible for losing your bag, finavia is the one who handles to baggages in helsinki airport. So avoiding finnair does no good to you (except avoiding their crappy service onboard the plane). If you are flying away from helsinki, your baggages will still be handled by finavia no matter what airline you use.

It is rare that I actually need to check baggage. You would be surprised what you can fit in a backpack that meets carry on requirements and a laptop bag that meets personal item requirements. I have spent a week out of country with a shirt and underoos for each day, a light jacket, a hoodie, and a backup pair of pants (wrinkle spray is awesome). For equipment, I had two laptops, a tablet, a phone, a really good compact charger and battery bank. I really don't understand what people bring with them (or how they pack) that requires full luggage unless bulky equipment is involved.

I absolutely love the content you have put out My security is so much better on my devices and knowledge. Thanks

Thanks so much, Mark!

Thanks for your videos. You do a great job of explaining things in plain English that is easy to understand. I just need to write down all the steps and things to do so I can do them after watching your videos!

[@eeehan77]

So your bag vanished into Finnair! 😂 By the way what is the point of a Faraday bag when one can easily switch the phone off, and save the battery into the bargain? And if you're worried about it still being on somehow, just hold it near an AM radio on an empty station. You'll soon hear noise if it's brought close to the radio if it is in any way powered up still.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Haha! I love that line.

[@backcountryFLcyclist]

TQVM for the video. Can you make a video, which one must do first? I mean, all the necessary actions need to be taken in a procedural mode. Which one is essentially must do first, prior to the other!

[@julianocc]

Isn't airplane mode enough instead of putting the phone into this Farady thing?

[@shubinternet]

No, there's some wireless stuff that doesn't get turned off when you put the device into "airplane mode". So, if you want to catch everything, then turn it completely off and then put it in a faraday bag.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yea, what the other commenter said.

[@StefanAlexandruGeogloman]

All good tips but it's pretty hard to do it all... I mean sometimes you just want to wander around a town without a bag or have the phone ready to take some pictures or something. Putting the phone on Lockdown mode so it can't be open with fingerprint works when not using it. But at 5:39... nothing related, but you should consider cleaning the laptop. :) Great video, as always!

[@AllThingsSecured]

Ha! Yea...probably should have cleaned it before filming.

[@RMahPersonal]

Any other safety guides for AirTag if travelling ??

[@JosueAndradeGomes]

And another (non-security) tip: include a spare shirt in your handbag.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Haha! I was fine with a shirt...but I wish I had a different pair of underwear and socks 😉

[@suzannepainter6785]

I always carry a pair of underwear and a toothbrush in my carryon. Got caught once. @@AllThingsSecured

Hi Josh - Might be an oversight, but the topic of juice jacking at airport chargers and what can be done to prevent it was missed.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yea, there were a number of things that I wasn't able to cover. Thanks for the feedback.

[@shubinternet]

Yeah, you always want to carry your own power supplies with you, including battery power supplies. And USB "condom" cables while you're at it.

[@drstrr]

What's the benefit of putting your phone in the Faraday bag over just putting it in airplane mode when you're not using it? Depriving your phone of a carrier signal will cause it to crank up the radios which in turn will drain the battery.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Where did you read that? And it's more than just the carrier signal we're talking about here, which is one of many differences between airplane mode and a faraday bag.

[@drstrr]

@@AllThingsSecured It's similar to what people in poor coverage areas experience battery wise. The phone's radio needs more power to maintain a connection with the cell. But reading your response, I assume that you switch off your phone AND put it in the Faraday bag. Going the extra mile of putting your phone in the Faraday bag seems conflicting, when you also carry an AirTag in the backpack for ehm, tracking.

[@shubinternet]

You turn the device off or put it into airplane mode, before you put it into the Faraday bag. And don't forget all those other radio transmitting/receiving devices, like your key fobs, your earbuds, your credit and debit cards, etc....

[@drstrr]

Yes, for all the other things you mentioned it makes sense to put those in the Faraday bag. What I don't understand is what the point is of putting a switched off phone in the bag? Is there any proof that switched off phones are still communicating? Or is it something that the Faraday bag companies wants us to believe?

[@yking8565]

How much use a farraday bag has whilst using the iTrack thingy for the backpack?

[@AllThingsSecured]

They are two different things.

[@yking8565]

@@AllThingsSecured Of course. One tracks, the other prevents tracking. That's why I am asking what the benefits are if you are being tracked still by AirTag but not your other devices. With which companies AirTag shares information?

[@drstrr]

​@@yking8565That's a good point. The question is: Is there an actual legitimate concern with being tracked with your phone than there is by being tracked with an AirTag? That thing is designed as a beacon for other nearby iPhones to detect.

[@shubinternet]

The AirTag will randomize its Bluetooth MAC address, and it should not be affiliated with any of your other devices or accounts, except through Apple. So, anything that is tracking you will see something walking by, but they won't be able to correlate that back to your phone or other devices you might have with you.

[@drstrr]

@@shubinternet Thanks for sharing. The concern is not with others iPhone users being able to track those. I'm sure Apple made sure that's not possible. But Apple themselves is certainly tracking you, as they have to correlate AirTags with Apple IDs and whatnot. The point is: Why take the extra step of putting your phone in the Faraday bag because of tracking, when you keep your Faraday bag in your backpack next to an AirTag for... tracking? Or can we trust Apple on their blue eyes?

[@eprohoda]

yoou uploaded incredible , peace out,

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@OFFGRIDOFFICIAL]

Can you put your phone on airplane mode instead of using the faraday?

[@AllThingsSecured]

You can, but it's not the same. There's so much that still happens even in airplane mode.

[@vdad7881]

What happened to the proton video?

[@AllThingsSecured]

It’s coming. Be patient 😉

Hi! Can I contact you somewhere to ask a question? I’m not comfortable with sharing it publicly.

[@jippalippa]

I want that faraday bag.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Ok...what's stopping you?

[@eeehan77]

Just turn the phone off FFS

[@zeitgeist888]

Great tips as usual. What air tag like device do you recommend for Androids that are not Samsung devices? Tried to get something last year before travel and didn't find anything decent for Android or Pixle phones. I travel carry on only which helps reduce risk and even for 2-3 months in Europe but not everyone is able to.

[@AllThingsSecured]

I would look at what Tile makes. I'm pretty sure that works with Android.

[@good-husky]

Just wondering: Why do you suggest to have Yubikey always with you? 🤔To not lost it or there is some possibility that someone will use it in some bad (to us) way?

[@AllThingsSecured]

I’d hate to be traveling, get locked out of my accounts and then not have at least one key with me.

[@good-husky]

@@AllThingsSecured Thank you for clarifying!

[@Getlost55]

Would putting your phone in airplane mode be just as good?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Not the same. Your phone still sends and receives signals even in airplane mode.

Great content, but what's your strategy to detect hidden cameras in hotel rooms and thoughts on whether vpn is a scam?

[@shubinternet]

The Modern Rogue channel has some pretty good videos on detecting hidden cameras and hidden microphones. Good VPNs are not a scam, so long as you know what they are good for protecting you from and what they are not good at. Now, your view of what a good VPN is might be different from mine, but I submit that all good VPNs fit this general description.

[@ShibaMcDripNu]

@@shubinternet I heard vpns good for companies if they buy/rent their own servers to use their own vpns but otherwise, what's the point outside of that.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Wow, we're getting pretty deep down the rabbit hole here. I know there are devices to detect hidden cameras but I'm not too worried about that personally. VPNs can be a scam. I think they are over-marketed, but in the case of traveling and getting on public WiFi, I think they have value.

Air tag on a security and privacy channel? That's a first.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yup. I think there are good uses. If you don't trust Apple, there are other luggage tracking devices you can try as well.

[@JosueAndradeGomes]

Is there something like AirTag for Android?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yes, there are other luggage trackers you can try instead of AirTags.

Why not just torn off your phone instead of putting in the bag?

Phones still transmit data when they are in airplane mode or even turned off.
