Uh wow. Last time I traveled outside of Europe, it was still pretty safe. Seems one good option would be to make a cloud backup, wipe the phone before the flight and restore everything using the first hotel wifi. I wonder if creating a second (empty) user account on the phone and unlocking that one at the border is enough to comply with the law.
