Device searches at the US border aren’t guaranteed, but they’re becoming increasingly common. 📱📈

While the 4th Amendment protects against “unreasonable searches and seizures,” Customs and Border Protection has special authority to inspect electronic devices at borders – by air, land, or sea.

That’s why it’s important to know your rights and take steps to safeguard your privacy. 

Here’s what to expect from a device search – and how to prepare before you travel. 👉️
