I have no problem turning over my iPhone or laptop to immigration as there is no data they'd be interested in. (While this applies to MX/US
crossing, Canada is onboard too.)
I've rarely made it to secondary, and I've never been asked about devices I own. That might have changed with current gov't policies and attitudes.
Interesting times we live in.
''In addition to encrypting your devices, you should delete any specific texts, apps, photos, etc that you feel are sensitive or you wouldn’t want a
government agent to see.''

Be careful putting too much stock into The Guardian.

The government is mostly invading privacy of border crossing foreigners.
Of course, the current government will also use any flimsy excuse to harass usa citizens on their retribution list.

Saw an interview of a CBP leader a few days ago. He said they are finally allowed to do their jobs - secure the border. Love it.

Yes thank God now we have control at border. Four years of zero control is enough.

I read the Guardian article and didn't see any thing out of the normal.
Thanks for the fake worries JZ
