You absolutely can opt out of facial recognition at the TSA! But you have to be on your guards and make sure you request it! They might fake not knowing so you should insist!

If I just would have known it earlier.
It was quite the surprise when boarding the return flight without having to show any baoarding passes.
Guessing you’ll take a burner phone? On arrival and Dep in Aus they can demand you open it and they can search anything. If you refuse they quarantine your phone for 14 days and prob use some Israeli software to access the contents

Not quite how that one works, but I believe that was the intended reference.
Last time I completely re-flashed my phone and only loaded it up with some "travel" accounts that were very basic. It was quite a lot of hassle, though.
This time I think I will just sign out of and delete any cloud services/accounts of concern (including my password safe) from the phone. I will sanitise it of anything I don't want getting into anothers hands.
Once I am safely across the border I can re-download/install what I need.
