Delete secret key on iphone for travel to US

I'll be travelling to the US this summer, and I don't want customs to log into all the accounts on my iPhone. I thought I could simply delete 1Password, but with the secret key, it's very easy to dow...

Following up on the original question, which I have as well…. Travel Mode is not useful to me.  I want to scrub my iOS devices of all evidence of 1Password (and other apps as well) in case my device gets compromised in transit, then reinstall when I arrive at my destination.   I understand that I will need my Secret Key in addition to my 1 password.  So when I reinstall the app, will my vaults restore automatically?

    I'm just about positive that reinstalling will be similar to installing on a new device: you'll need the secret key or have another device with a QR code.  Then your vaults will reappear on your device.  But I have no idea how to delete my secret key, so I haven't tested this.
