It's similar in Canada; permanent residents and citizens have the legal right to reentry and it can't be denied. But that right applies to you, not anything you are carrying. Play that game and you'll probably lose the device to border security.

It's pretty unbelievable that you have reduced constitutional rights as a citizen re-entering the country.
