    So what is the process for this phone search? Anyone been through it?

    Edit:

    “They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone.”

      Jesus Christ. Reminds me of Eastern Europe in the early 90s.

        Some western European countries already do the same thing nowadays. It goes against constitutional laws where you can remain silent and where you can’t be forced to help with your own conviction.

        It’s the blimp scene from Indiana jones, except he says “no password” instead of “no papers” after he throws the guy out of the blimp.

      Add that’s why certain employers already give a burner phone to their employees if they have to go to the USA.

        But I heard they also demand access to ALL social media accounts, which aren’t tied to a device.

          If you have 2 factor authentication, and the authentication device is on another continent, you don’t have any means to access the accounts even if they demand it.

      Well vance is immediately informed and provided a live feed. The strip you and bring you to a very handsome couch. Vance gets very disappointed when you just sit there but he just takes you and the couch he hand picked in and manages to rub one out.
