Travelers to the US should be aware that their electronic devices may be searched at the border. Know your rights to avoid issues.
Before traveling to the United States, it's essential to understand the potential for searches of your electronic devices at the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers have the authority to examine electronic devices, including smartphones and laptops.
This examination can extend to photos, messages, and other stored data. To ensure a smooth entry into the U.S., be mindful of the content on your devices and understand your rights. It's crucial to ensure your devices don't contain illegal material under U.S. law.
