I don't know, I think the border is a no-man's land. They can pretty much keep you in limbo as long as they want. Edit: Yes, US citizens are allowed to ask for a lawyer (at the U.S. Border). But, the 4th Amendment is mostly out the window.

That's not really true. As a US Citizen, on basic legal principle, I believe that once Immigration has established you are a US Citizen, they have to let you leave unless they suspect you of a crime. Customs is sort of a different issue, they can go through your physical and digital belongings and search you.
