I will travel to Iran for a few weeks and I wanted to know if I can bring the two USB keys I always have with me:

  • One with Tails OS installed on it.

  • The other with two partitions, with one encrypted.

I guess both are forbidden. But as a tourist, can I have trouble just by having this on me (no matter the contents of the key)? How likely is it that during a control (at the border, in airports...) they check what is on the keys?

    "I guess both are forbidden" You guess or do you have a reference saying that they are forbidden ? what's tails ?

    Do you mean that it has Tails OS on it?

    What specifically are you concerned about? Are you more concerned about just having an encrypted partition, or are you worried about the actual contents of the keys?

    You'd better read the ITAR rules (assuming you are travelling to Iran after having been in the USA), a lot of software and electronics falls under "dual use".

    I've never seen the content of electronic devices being checked in the airport in Iran. Only passport check. So no worries, unless you are a specific person they are after!
