I have an old Motorola "dumb" phone, but what I want to know is if I am asked "Do you have a Gmail/Facebook etc..account" I am required to tell the truth, am I also obligated to provide the password to access it regardless of whether or not I am carrying a device to access it?
- tssva 9y agoI don't know if you must answer the question or provide a password, but I do know that lying to a federal agent is a crime that can land you in jail for up to 5 years.
- grecy 9y agoThat's an interesting question. If I cross into the US with nothing digital at all (no phone, camera, laptop, etc.) do I have to provide logins and passwords to all my online accounts? That would be very scary if indeed true.
- sigmaprimus 9y agoIt's really scary, say the wrong thing to a border agent and you can end up in prison, or banned from entry for life. I don't travel to the US often and unfortunately since 911, I am even less inclined to travel there due to the security measures imposed afterwards...does that mean the terrorists won?
