So what can you do to avoid the border agents from invading your data on your device? Whether it's for ease of travel or to keep sensitive data out of government hands, the best thing you can do is refrain from traveling with ANY sensitive data on your devices (you may even think about your personal data). Instead wehn you arrive at your destination, utilize a secure remote-access method, and do not have remote-access configuration saved on the machine. Only after you get into the country should you configure for remote access.
You may be surprised about how "cloak and dagger" you must get, but be sure to NEVER let your devices leave your side. This includes NEVER leaving your devices in your hotel rooms. Don't underestimate how far states will go in monitoring, observing, and tracking you.
When your journey is done, reverse the process. Physically destroy the hard drive or perform a DoD standard erasure/wipe of the entire drive. Don't rely on formattting the hard drive; data is forensically retrievable.
These are items once left to James Bond, but the reality of the 21st century is that we are all forced to play in the economic espionage game.
