Sure, somewhat hyperbolic, but a reference to this new law that went into force this week and the parent post:

"Travellers who refuse to hand over their phone or laptop passwords to Customs officials can now be slapped with a $5000 fine."

I'm gonna have to treat that as a "hostile border", and treat it the same as the Chinese border...
