US border forces are seizing Americans' phone data and storing it for 15 years
Honestly, as a non-American this scares me. I am absolutely not at all important and a fairly mediocre programmer as well, I don&#x27;t store compromising data about anyone, never stole code or company data in my life (and never will), etc., you get it. A normal law-abiding citizen.<p>I still don&#x27;t want to get my phone taken on an US airport and returned an hour later with God knows how many viruses that even Apple wouldn&#x27;t be able to detect on my iPhone.<p>It&#x27;s not about having something to hide. It&#x27;s about not liking it when people poke their noses in your business without you being a criminal. And no I don&#x27;t think installing backdoors on each device &quot;to catch the criminals more easily&quot; is a solution at all.
