The latest thing that Im being bombarded with on social media is that Border officials are searching peoples phones as they go through customs. I have to say that it could be like a lot of stuff online and its utter nonsense but its definitely a part of my social media algorithm these days. The advice for US citizens is to remove fingerprint and facial recognition from the phone as they cannot force you to give the password, but for non citizens it is cause for further scrutiny and possible refusal of entry if you refuse to hand phone over for a search. It sounds absolutely ridiculous and something that would happen in N Korea, and Im not for one second saying it is true.... but also I would not be surprised if it is actually happening with how aggressive the distain for Non Americans has become within the administration.
