> So, maybe turn this around a bit: maybe the CBP should understand if they do it to a journalist, he might report on it. What makes you think they don’t understand that? It’s not the first such account by a journalist (e.g. https://pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/bbc-journalist-questioned-by-us-border-agents-devices-searched/ https://pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/bbc-journalist-... ). I believe the privacy risk of traveling to the USA, UK, China and other such countries is widely known. It’s foolish to assume you get special treatment for that as a journalist, that’s my point.
