🚨 HEY SIRI! “I’m At Customs” — A Silent Guardian for Intl. Travel & Vulnerable Travelers (DOWNLOAD NOW)
Whether you're crossing borders, getting searched, being detained, or just feel uncomfortable during travel, this shortcut lets you document and notify without escalation.
You’re standing in line at customs. Maybe you're being questioned. Something feels… off.
“They said I wasn’t on the list… and then took my phone.”
“ICE wouldn’t let me call my partner.”
“I’m a U.S. citizen. Born here. But they told me I didn’t belong.”
You don’t want to cause a scene. You definitely don’t want to pull out your phone and start typing. But you do want to alert someone. Quietly. Quickly. Automatically.
This is not hypothetical anymore.
Just days ago, Trump’s new executive order empowered federal agencies to deport American citizens if their citizenship is in dispute — even without due process. ICE has already begun rapid-check removals, and immigration attorneys are reporting spikes in detentions without phone access.
This affects:
Immigrants and dual citizens
People of color wrongly profiled
Traveling activists and documentarians
Journalists, students, and anyone with an accent or a cause
Whether you're entering the U.S., transiting through an airport, or simply being looked at too long by customs — the risk is no longer theory.
⚠️ That’s why I built the “I’m At Customs” Shortcut.
A single tap on your iPhone does all of this:
🔇 Silently mutes your phone and dims the screen
📍 Gets your GPS location and map URL
🎙️ Begins recording audio immediately
💾 Saves the file to your iCloud Drive, securely and discreetly
📤 Sends your location + message + audio to trusted contacts
📴 Activates Do Not Disturb, keeping everything low-profile
Whether you're crossing borders, getting searched, or just feel uncomfortable during travel, this shortcut lets you document and notify without escalation.
Real-World Use
Imagine you’re asked to step aside at JFK.
Imagine you’re stopped in El Paso on your way to a conference.
Imagine you’re being filmed for something you didn’t agree to.
You don’t have to ask anyone’s permission to protect yourself.
You tap one button or prompt “Hey, Siri”. And you're not alone anymore.

(Includes Apple Maps link + audio file)You can customize this to say anything — even send to multiple people or trigger video recording instead.
🔒 Private. Encrypted. Yours.
