Simple answer here, which is "sorry, I don't have any social media accounts" to the TSA agents or whoever. I hate the assumption that everyone must be using social media, when did it become required?
I have friends who do that. They change their names on Facebook and switch profile pics to ones that are not of them so they cannot be found if they get challenged re: social media.
They have nothing to hide. None are terrorists or anything crazy like that. They're Europeans, largely. And they value their privacy.
As we all should.

Asking for all that stuff is an invasion of privacy. We might as well strip search every person that wants to enter the country. Sheesh.
Welcome to the USA, traveler!
We have been strip-searching people for coming in to US ever since the border control was established. Where have you been?
Citizens or non-citizens, people at the borders have very few rights, certainly not the rights to unreasonable searches. Customs agents can search with or without warrant in anyway they want.

Good for them. I felt the same back when employers started asking employees for their social media passwords, so ridiculous.

So, how's that really going for us, then?

I think that it's extreme but at the same time you want to go to the party, you play by the rules. It is extremely difficult for many countries to get a tourist visa to come here, especially if you have a loved one here.
Yeah, in the boonies may be but international traveler?
LOL. Hi Im the boonies. I pay per year what you or your employer pay a month. 2 of the 12 I work with besides me use old style phones.
