Airport Confiscations: Your Tech, Your Rights?

Will your phone ever be safe at the border? A tale in tech and tyranny.

When Minnesota activist Janette Zahia Corcelius returned from a trip to Europe, her phone was confiscated by CBP. Now, she's suing for its return under the Fourth Amendment.


The case raises questions about the extent of government powers at borders. Critics argue that 'antifa' is unfairly lumped into a terrorist category to justify searches targeting left-wing activists.


CBP conducts two types of phone searches: basic inspections and advanced forensic ones, which can potentially copy contents if unlocked. This practice has increased by 32% since the last fiscal year.


The issue isn't just about Corcelius; it's about who gets to define domestic terrorism in a way that affects everyday freedoms. The administration’s strategy could chill dissent across the board.
