and what part of "search my digital device for words and phrases" is expressly allowed by the fourth amendment that protects against warrantless search and seizure? oh yeah, none of it. that's right. the fact that agents are conducting broadsweeping searches in clear violation of The Constitution is so painful it's almost laughable. it being a "border crossing" applied to digital information and not just the contents of my suitcase is an appalling transgression of the spirit of the law. also why is your device programmed to self-erase? that's also incredibly sus.

smuggling endangered species? bad. okay search a suitcase.

having unrestricted access to all my gmails because i need to catch a plane? absolutely unacceptable.

having your phone autowipe when pressed by authority? quit whatever nefarious shit you're doing, thanks
