I'll (Canada) probably be skipping a conference that we usually do each year in the states as well. Not worth potentially getting my phone/laptop scanned and data stolen.
Imagine getting to a point where people need burner phones to enter the US.
Wasn't that already the case since 9/11 and the Patriot Act?
