I am curious: how frequently are devices searched this thorough? I haven't travelled abroad in decades, and US Customs only asked that I power on the device to prove it was what it was.
But to search contents?

@teledyn @Paulatics @dkmackinnon Your question implies that nothing has changed from past administrations and we can rely upon our past experience. Nobody has been told to pick out certain foreigners before just for political review, so they didn't. Now, somebody "dressed like a leftist" might find your phone can be checked in 5 minutes flat by a computer, and of course the NSA has been recording your every email and post for 15 years. It's what we were worried about when Snowden showed it
