I should add that these aren't primarily border control devices. Legitimate use-case would be searching a phone seized in an arrest after obtaining a wiretap order for it. They police end up using them to read your entire digital life as long as an officer says that, in his judgement, you may have been texting while driving.

Yeah doesn't really make a lot of sense at the border. Nobody is going to deliberately bring any device with incriminating content over the border, not when you can easily get a new phone and laptop at WalMart for a couple of hundred bucks.
