"textContent": "Welcome to the UK\nOnly thing to note about restoring a 10TB backup from cloud storage, would be that transatlantic links are incredibly slow. And unless you’re moving somewhere with full fibre the download stage is going to be weeks at a minimum. Most our internet is still 50 Mbps\n\nHave you thought about posting an encrypted clone of the drive to yourself once you get here? Worst they could do would be to seize it, but they can’t compel you to decrypt it.\n\nIf it was me, I’d just bring it with me on the plain. I’m not sure about the rest of the EU, but for the UK they can only compel you for your password under the Terrorism Act. You can check the numbers online, but it happens very very rarely (in the low thousands annually, and almost all from middle East). There’s nothing they can do unless they already have some serious terror-related evidence on you (and if they do, you shouldn’t travel here at all!)",
