How’d they get into his phone? Face or fingerprint?
Make sure you turn off biometrics before traveling. They can’t force you to disclose a passcode.

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.
Haha, I'll never get into the USA. Trump is a snowflake melted on a turd and he can fuck a melon.

I was looking for this as well. It seems like a rather important piece of info for the article to leave out.

This is dark. They aren't bothering to hide what's going on anymore.

IIRC they can compel you to unlock your phone. Or just deny you entry if you don't. It's best to make sure you travel with a 'clean' phone and PC, border patrol got ridiculous powers in the patriot act and nobody's ever rolled any of it back despite decades of abuses.

Funny that the US has become more like Russia since Trump was elected.

Get a burner for ANY international travel.
Consider it an insurance expense as a part of the trip.

It's "voluntary" in the sense that either you allow it or you don't get into the country.

That's forced. Since when was it a thing?

Was that explicitly said to him? Did they tell him that if he refused the inspection that he would be denied entry?
Not that you are potentially wrong, but I'm not looking for assumptions pulled out of orifices.

If you have an android device, setup a second user account with nothing on it and use that when going through customs.

Just don't come here unless you have to. And get a burner if you do come.

The Nazis literally did this with a law. They made it illegal to be critical of the party. Fuck the alarm, we've already been had.
Yup. "But we're not there yet", so they say. "Too soon to act rashly".
'First they started mass deportations, but it wasn't time yet, so we did not act.
Then they started refusing people who were critical of them, but it wasn't a corrupt system yet, so we did not act.
Then they started blatantly taking money from the poor and give it to the rich, but it wasn't a corrupt system yet, so we did not act.'
Not all, but the gist of it. Thankfully some bubbles of resistance are starting to form in the US, but the main people who were elected to uphold the law and fight this democraticly are already bribed or blackmailed, so it's in great part up to the people, and whatever stance the army ends up taking when they are forced to choose between loyalty to the constitution, or an individual.

They will also ask you for your password for online accounts and refuse entry if you don't.
And as we have all seen recently that does not necessarily mean "next flight home".
