Phone Searches at the US Border Hit a Record High

Customs and Border Protection agents searched nearly 15,000 devices from April through June of this year, a nearly 17 percent spike over the previous three-month high in 2022. "The real issue is the chilling effect it has on all travelers."

How many people travelled in the 3 months in 2022 vs 2025? A heck of a lot less. Particularly since it was q1 and people just weren't back to travelling then post COVID.

I am looking at flying to Miami next year for work, and airfares are still around 15k on american airline.

ANA is doing for 10k so i'll be taking a "long indirect" route to get there.

Far too many scare tactics and beat ups by the media IMO.
We visited the US a couple of months back and went ADL-KUL-DOH-CAI-FRA-IAD and arrival at IAD was faster and smoother than anything I’ve witnessed at most countries including when we return to Australia. No line up at immigration and lady checked my passport, took my fingerprints and waved me on, not a single question or inquiry about our itinerary. No checking of phones, laptops etc.
Was our first time and after hearing the horror stories I was expecting worse. We departed the US a few days later for the Caribbean and due to circumstances had to return to the US the next day and again a seemless experience
