> If you were calmly asked the same questions by a sweet guy or girl on a chaise longue while being offered champagne and strawberries, people would have almost no problem even though it's really the same thing without the elevated stress level.

Cute girl offers glass of champagne and complimentary strawberry 'so.. I'm gonna need you to unlock your phone, give me the password to your work-related e-mail, your personal e-mail and all your social media accounts.'

I travel into the US constantly, as do many people I know, and I have never in person come across a single person this has happened to.

Not saying it doesn't happen, just that it's easy to blow this stuff out of proportion.
