Yet another case that will waste the court's time and money. All this is doing is keeping defense lawyers pocket's lined.

At this point, people should buy a burner phone when going to/from the US. In that phone only have a couple of phone numbers and that's it.

Oh, they may well give you bad time if your phone looks like a burner with too little content.

Think it’s better to travel without a phone at all and buy one when arriving in the us? Problematic I guess with everything being digital

I'm a bit mystified why anyone would bring an electronic device over an international border with anything that could be construed, fairly or not, as evidence of criminal behavior.

Also, you might accidentally drop your burner in the lake/ocean before you return. It happens!

At this point? This has been standard practice for a while now.
