That's how some employers (mine included) already handle work-owned electronic devices: going overseas -- either leave yours behind or pick up a loaner that will be fully wiped on arrival.
people used to look at me like i was crazy because id always wipe my laptop and devices before crossing the border. but its the only way now.
That looks suspicious. Unless you are coming home to your own country, looking suspicious is a good way to get denied entry.
Maybe employers' security teams should make it known that they routinely instruct employees to do this for business or personal travel.
That would work except that it's super inconvenient.
That would mark you as suspicious (Who doesn't have anything on their phone?) and give you a person of interest treatment.
