If they get a person's password, the largest privacy violation is not to that person. It's to all that person's friends and family who shared private material.

We can discuss all we want whether it was wise for anyone to share, say, everyday normal photos of their children or themselves on Facebook.
If you think they shouldn't have shared normal, everyday, family photos on an online service, sure, fine, I don't know what to say. But let's say they did do so, which is pretty normal.
Are they entitled to some privacy from whatever pervs the DHS hires?
Remember "they" is the friends and family of the person visiting the US, not the person themselves.
Many of these friends and family will be US citizens, so arguments about differing rights for non-citizens, whether valid or invalid with respect to privacy rights, don't necessarily apply in those cases.
- tn13 10y agoUS citizens must thank the founding fathers for all the amendments else the feds would have treated all of us just like this.These wannabe immigrants have 0 rights or voting power so they are being treated like complete shit. The way US government treats legal immigrants, they might as well ask them to bring a lube and drop pants and bend over at the immigration check. This comment might seem crass but it is nowhere close to the crassness with which US government has come to treat people who are going through all the ridiculous legal hoops and in process making criminals out of perfectly ordinary people. This is like having a super complex CAPTCHA on your signup page for humans while letting bots pass through by some minor cookie manipulation.
