You Want to Do What with My Cell Phone? Privacy Rights at Border Crossings

Imagine the following scenario: You enter (or return to) the United States and border officials demand that you hand over your cell phone and PIN. Or, perhaps you are stopped at a checkpoint or pulled over by law enforcement officials and they make the same demand. Suppose they want all passwords to access your data? Even worse, they want to copy all of your data – can they do that? Demands by law enforcement officials to search mobile devices without a warrant seem to be a daily occurrence. In this session, privacy industry veterans will discuss the legalities of searching cell phones and other mobile devices, including your rights and how you can minimize your exposure.
