Can Your Phone Ban You from the U.S. in 2025?

  • It is interesting that this article from a Canadian news source doesn’t have any mention of what Canada’s border policy is for comparison.

    Canada’s customs may also confiscate or search a device with no justification: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/edd-ean-eng.html

    I don’t necessarily endorse the policy but I feel that it undermines the article’s point. It would be useful to know how common this practice is in other countries for reference.

    > Canadians (and all travelers) are left to grapple with a sobering truth: crossing into the U.S. means surrendering more than just your passport.

    So does returning to Canada I guess?
