I had my laptop searched during this time by a CBP officer at the US border in Calgary airport. There was no documentation of the event and the only 'receipt' I got was a pamphlet telling me that it was legal and what my rights were (none really).
My point is I highly doubt the extent is as little as 1,000 as most searches are not logged.
(I'm not a US Citizen, so my rights were further limited given US had no obligation to let me in)
- powertower 13y agoAre you sure it was searched (indexed or imaged) rather than just checked (powered on and/or checked for hidden contraband)?
- dotBen 13y agoIt all comes down to semantics, doesn't it? It wasn't imaged or indexed but the officer sat down and looked through it for quite some time. I think you asked people what they thought the 1000 searches consisted of, they would include a CBP officer going through the contents of a laptop as a "search".
