I can still barely believe that ransacking people's devices and online profiles without probable cause is considered —by CBP and currently, the law— as a reasonable search.
And it's alright for Americans. You can just clam up and your right to return will kick in (after some inconvenient hours). But if a Jonny Foreigner like me tries that, I'm stuffed back on a plane after a thorough fisting because I was resisting a search in a suspicious manner.
9/11 was horrible but if you think checking my Facebook profile and Whatsapp messages after the planes have landed is going to stop the next one, you're almost as big an idiot at the guy running the show there.
I used to love travelling to America but it's not a holiday when you treat your visitors like terrorists in front of their families.
