Just take throw-away devices. If CBP unlock the device and remove it from your presence, you can never trust the device again for connecting to a private network or accessing any non-public information.

A friend of mine was given advice from authorities on travelling to China: use a burner phone and burner laptop and drop them in the trash at the Chinese airport on the way back home. I would say, the same applies for travelling to the USA these days.
