- bonestamp2 7y agoYes, customs has legal authority to search all of your belongings which includes the files, emails, photos, text messages, etc on your devices. My only other option was to forfeit my computer. Since I like my computer and don't do anything illegal I allowed them to violate my privacy so I could keep my computer. After they had a good look I was on my way. From what I understand, the process has changed. These days they just image your hard drive and you're on your way after that. Then they upload your drive to a cloud system that looks through it for illegal activity. No joke. Again, you can forfeit your computer or phone but they will still try to image the drive.

- bonestamp2 7y agoI agree. I never said TSA.
