TomK - Seriously?
Correct - I don't think randomq is being fearful, just evaluating their options. Always good to plan in advance IMO.
Per CBP: "If you are a U.S. citizen, you cannot be denied admission into the U.S. so long as you have proof of citizenship, such as your valid U.S. passport. You can be detained, however, during CBP’s inspection, and your device may be seized. Your travel may also be delayed."
In my several CBP interactions while border-hopping they threatened on multiple occasions to hold us for a few days for not consenting to a search - ok, do what you think is right and I'll do the same (they ran the dogs by us or sternly eyed the vehicle and let us go). Like I said, if you have the time and want to advocate for your 4th amendment protections, make choices in advance and as the situation arises to enable that option. It is not settled law that you forfeit your 4th amendment rights at the border like when returning to HNL which is in Hawaii, as is Puna (at least I try Mod2 ;) - see United States v. Sultanov, 2024
ETA: TomK - here comes Rob. The moderator who doesn't understand the 1st amendment.
lol - says the Brit who doesn't understand the U.S. Constitution or Section 230. Rob can boot you, or any of us, at will - or not - moderation is completely up to him as Punaweb is his private property, and he's not the government, so the First Amendment speech protections mean nothing in this context ya numpty muppet.
