That is such a great line that encompasses about why more and more the ends of the end-to-end encryption are being attacked.
The data may be a by-product of using the device. I suspect they are primarly looking for communications data that is bound to be on every device that is actively used to communicate.
The more end-to-end encryption is used the more interesting the ends become.
>And even if you had the data on a laptop, how does border patrol even know what they are looking at?
Maybe they just copy everything for later analysis in case communications data hints at this being a person of interest.
