Advocate sues border agents over warrantless phone search

Original: Returning from vacation? The government can search your phone without a warrant

An immigration advocate has filed a lawsuit against US border agents after they demanded access to his cell phone when he returned from a trip abroad. The case challenges the long-standing practice of warrantless device searches at the border, which civil liberties groups argue violates constitutional protections against unreasonable searches. Discussion online centres on how few travellers realise customs officers can inspect phones without a warrant.

Why now: A new lawsuit over border phone searches has reignited debate about travellers' digital privacy rights.
