“Amir Makled thought he was being racially profiled. A Lebanese American who was born and raised in Detroit, the attorney was returning home from a family vacation in the Dominican Republic when he said an immigration official at the Detroit Metro airport asked for a “TTRT” agent after scanning his passport on Sunday.

Avoid traveling internationally with personal devices if at all possible. Check universities and libraries for loaners
Or just buy and keep a secondary device in advance
At least leave the device powered off with a passcode. Even better graphene os which closes more ways for them to break in.
Except that might “prove” to them that you have something to hide.
Anything can be used as an excuse by those people if they want, same way that cops can pull you over because “you swerved” and can search your car because “it smells of weed.”
It’s totally a reasonable precaution to have an inexpensive phone that is used for international travel and has no significant personal info on it in the event of theft, loss, or other threats.
