My ex-girlfriend is Canadian and made a hop in the US on her way to visit Mexico. US agent in the airport insinuated that she was a prostitute or being sex trafficked and made her unlock her phone to prove otherwise. He read messages on Tinder and various messenger apps and made ridiculous comments about the content of some messages. "Ok, ok. It looks like you're a good girl."

Since checking phones is legal, when you try to complain about it, it's like trying to find someone who cares that a cop made rude remarks when he pulled you over.

It's a great system.

This is a bit different though, because it is at a border crossing - where your rights are explicitly curtailed.

True. Just blows my mind how people get treated.
