Want to come to the US? Be prepared to hand over your passwords

Let's not be naive here.

These measures won't work. Any moderately intelligent person will just buy a new phone before they come here, and claim not to have a social media profile. Terrorists are evil; they aren't stupid.

Only a very naive person would think this is an effective way of keeping extremists out.

Which in turn makes people without social media profiles more suspicious. Thinking that I was kind of satisfied after deleting my facebook account :( Will they eventually realize that "Give us your laptop's password!" is even more efficient?

I already have fake profiles on FB linked-in and Twiter!

Not to mention the gross violation of privacy here...
