> In the 2011 DHS document, the CBP says it can conduct a "brief physical inspection," such as switching a device on, to demonstrate that it is not a container for illegal substances, but it has the right to "search [...] the device's contents." A device can also be detained, which can result in a copy of the data contained on the device being stored for latest forensic searches. And a copy of the data can be used for "evidence of continued or future admissibility." Device detentions can are often returned within seven days, but can be extended up to 14 days, the document says. This means: If you don't want to give random people your data, you can simply not travel with any devices such as a phone, laptop, tablet, USB stick, SD card. I'm speechless.
