Hash database checks would be a privacy friendly alternative to custom agents physically accessing your phone when you enter a country. This would be more efficient as well, so checking 100% of travellers phones (and connected cloud storages) would be possible. A very effective way of protecting your country from IS terrorists!

I sense irony. But I'll still reply:

The border agent could always claim that their system detected something and therefore they need to look through all your private files.
