Senior Associate Benjamin Green shared his insights in a recent article with CHCH News, discussing the rise in electronic device searches by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and what travellers should know before crossing the border. While device searches remain rare, the increase highlights growing questions around privacy, digital data, and the inspection powers of U.S. border officers. Benjamin explains that although travellers may not expect a search, U.S. authorities have long had the legal right to inspect electronic devices at ports of entry.
