There's a way simpler solution and it's just to leave your phone at home and put your SIM in a different handset without all your data on it

An increasing portion of phones are eSIM [0] only these days, and the difficulty of swapping can be weirdly-bad depending on provider.

  • But non esims exist still, and if you're that worried about security, you can get one.

    • Not forever though, and if you're an iPhone user, already current iPhones sold in the US are eSIM only. So in some number of years (depenfing on your device oldness tolerance), they will become obsolete eventually.
