Comment on Fourth Circuit: Border Agents Can Search Your Phone by Hand, No Suspicion Neededparent

Comments

This is great, so long as you don't get caught.

But if you get caught, the consequences could be disastrous. For the person whose phone it is, you could get a lifetime ban from the US or charged with a felony. For the developer of a such a feature, the feds are very likely to come after them too (I think there's a strong 1st amendment case, but I wouldn't like to have to fight it in court!)
