No, a burner solves the issues. Returning from overseas my wife was picked out of the crowd. They questioned foreign sounding names in her contact list and made her open her banking app so that they could inspect her balances. Why? Fishing expedition. A burner won't have any apps with personal information.

We are both Ameircan citizens. Born and raised. Veterans. It made us nervous that we were going to need to hire lawyers at great cost to argue the negative against people who care nothing for rights, or right and wrong. I imagine it would be traumatic for foreign visitors to undergo the same inspection. If I was visiting the US on holiday from a foreign country I wouldn't bring any devices through a US checkpoint that had any PII other than a contact list.
