So.. at this point nobody should try coming into the U.S. with a non-clean-wiped phone, eh?

Don't travel with electronics. It'll ask just as many questions of why you have a wiped clean phone or laptop. In this story they were simply looking for justification to deny the guy and they found it. I'd gauge that the border guards here would use clean electronics for the like as 'you must be hiding something'.

How long until you can't get a US Visa if you don't have a facebook account? You need to have one, so they can snoop it. If you say you don't have one, you must be lying.

About now by the looks of the new social media reporting requirements. You don't have a FB account? No US visa for you!

Might want to clean your phone if you have photos of dead children on it.

Or, from the other story, facebook friends with politics the border agent doesn't like.

Or, who knows. It's not like there are rules written anywhere.
