Can they deny entry to a non citizen and hold their stuff?
I don't think there's any country in the world that doesn't reserve the right to deny entry to non-citizens for any reason they choose.

What if I don’t support or defend the Second Amendment? Does that make me unamerican? Should I renounce my citizenship?

Would it perilous if you just plead the fifth? If you knowingly state that you don't know how to turn the phone back on, then it's a lie, but if you just plead the 5th? Also, why is it legal for them to lie to me when I can't lie to them?
It's not that it's legal, is that you have no way to hold them to account when they do.

Also you may have no way to gather your own evidence anyway.

Better, have a secure server at home and ansible playbooks to set up laptops (including getting any minor secrets that you need onto that laptop. Restrict more important stuff to just ssh). If your threat model doesn't include physical tampering/rootkits, just wipe your devices pre-travel and set it up when you get where you're going. If it does and you can afford to mitigate that risk, arrange to have cheap new devi…
Would work if you trusted that the devices weren't tampered during inspection. Why would I put my keys on something which might've been wiretapped? If you really need to compute whilst traveling or through the states, just buy something cheap whilst you're there.

> I'm not sure they can ask you to break a contract. Are allowed to? Maybe, maybe not. Will do anyway? Probably yes.
I'm certain they're allowed to. If the SEC thinks your employer is committing fraud, and asks you to inform on them, do they care that you have an NDA? Not a chance.
Quick reminder: US citizens have an absolute right to reenter the country. Customs can temporarily detain you, but they cannot refuse entry. Any threat, whether implied or stated, that they will hold you until you unlock your device is not real. They can hold your stuff indefinitely, so be prepared to lose it if you go this route, but never unlock your device based on the idea that it’s the only way to go free. Non-c…
I’ve been kicked out of a border control point in northern Vermont in February in a snowstorm after a four hour interrogation. (They sent the bus without me.)
I’ve been arrested and locked in a room for twelve hours with no food or water or medication.
I’ve been endlessly harassed and interrogated on other entries even when not exercising 5th amendment rights to silence.
In all cases they eventually let me go without charges.
They have to let you enter, but they don’t have to do it quickly or humanely.

Abuse of power, indeed -- but he should have let Apple's lawyers sort out the proprietary device access issue after the fact. Pretty sure as Google employees the advice to us is to cooperate fully and then make sure lawyers know about it later. It's not worth compromising your own security and freedom on behalf of a corporation.

> They can hold your stuff indefinitely, so be prepared to lose it if you go this route CBP do need reasonable suspicion to hold you belongings or do a forensic search of your computer (Cotterman 2013) - they can't just randomly take things on a whim. The longer they hold it, the higher standard required.

We lead the world in R&D, we aren't in a surveillance state like China (~1.3B people), we aren't undeveloped, we have the US dollar - the commanding world currency. We develop the best military technology, space technology, most all technology. We issue the most patents, by far. We (as people) have more rights than most all other nations and we led many other rights to attain rights for their own citizens. We protect…
We can't afford healthcare for our people.
