The difference is that you have no rights crossing the border, but you do in your own country.

Since the cops say they would do with with a judge's approval, it seems no different to me than getting a search warrant. I have no problem with it in that case.

BRAH BRAH:
When you cross the Canadian US border you're asked for access to electronic devices so what's the difference?

There is a ton of difference. When you cross the border you can be ordered to submit to warrantless body cavity searches. Should your local police have that power as well?

In Canada this is what refusing to give up your password gets you.

The next time I come to Canada I'll just go buy a burner phone to bring with me. Like fucking hell they're getting into my stuff just because they feel like it.

I have absolutely no expectation of privacy about anything that goes through a third party. :(


I agree, totally. But there is a difference between voluntarily giving up some personal information in return for being a target of advertising, and the government requiring you give them all your information.

I'd buy the burner once I got there. ;) That way they can't record the IMEI number when you go through customs. ;) Roaming charges would be lower too.

Bart, you don't think that the US government isn't doing the same thing right now to just about everyone in the US? Have all these 'leaks' gone to deaf ears?
