Not exactly a huge surprise as Switzerland is not part of the EU. I bet they don’t follow India or Australia’s government policies either! Such savages.
Switzerland has no shortage of cyber professionals, so either hardened and encrypted devices, or no one traveling with direct access to confidential data via their devices, likely both, is the obvious situation here.
Hardened and encrypted devices don’t matter for shit when you’re forced to unlock them. Not having direct access to confidential data like you proposed is much better. But better not even have a way of accessing it that could be detected.
Switzerland, however, seems to be taking a less confrontational approach. The message seems clear: Switzerland has no interest in provoking Washington.
WTF? Simply not taking your regular phone is “confrontational” and a provocation?!?
Switzerland going the “appeasement” route with fascists, as per usual.
