The article mentions the issue of law enforcement going through your phone at the airport.
I just noticed a decent solution to this by accident. My android broke, hard, and I had to get a replacement. The automatic backup that Google provides restored everything I needed, and pretty quickly, on the new phone. I think I was only missing call history, which I can live without.
So, at least for me, the current tech provides all I need. Just do a factory wipe before I leave for the airport, and restore it after I'm past the goon squad.

If you're traveling internationally you'd need to maintain a clean phone through both ends of security. That means restoring offshore. That, in turn, means relying on the reliability and security of your Internet connection.
