France’s research minister said a French scientist was denied entry to the US this month after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticism of the Trump administration.

      These guys are handing their phones over to show work itinerary in their emails amd the immigration officers are then going through all their other emails and messages.

      Never, never, never, hand your unlocked phone over to an immigration officer. Print everything you need out before hand.

        If you use fingerprint or face scan to unlock your phone, they can compel you to unlock your phone.

        If you use a PIN, they cannot.

        Yeah but he can just say “hand over your unlocked phone or I will reject your entry” and then it’s the same thing

        Personally I’d like to visit the US for their national parks, or whatever is left after this administration policies.

          Paving all of them over would be a huge endeavor. I hope Putins orange labrador doesn’t take is as a challenge.
