It's not that uncommon for border patrol to go through your phone. I went to Canada 6-7 years ago and they went through my sister's phone because she told them she wanted to meet a Canadian friend she had made online. Border patrol read their conversations while we waited in a confinement room. It was the last time I went to Canada
So they were trying to keep your sister from being human trafficked and you had a tantrum and refused to come back? Probably not a big loss for Canada.
No I went to Canada and had a great time. Since Canada will search your phone I calmly decided to vacation elsewhere. Really not a big deal.
Good luck finding anywhere else in the world where you aren't subject to the search of your electronics. Canada appreciates your decision not to visit again.
Subject to and having it happen are different.
Also as a third party observer of this conversation, stop being a dick
I've travelled to dozens of countries and the only one where my phone was searched was the US. They searched a sanitized decoy phone. My actual phone was at home safe and sound. I didn't cross my arms and stomp my feet and say I was never doing back because I'm not a petulant, entitled child. I understand that I am subject to the laws of the country that I'm visiting and go prepared. I think that anyone who swears that they are never going to visit a country that searched their sister's phone to make sure she wasn't walking into being human trafficked is someone that we can quite happily do without visiting our country.
If that's being a dick then I'm a dick.
That's not what makes you a dick. Your attitude, word choice, and insistence on being right is what's making you a dick in my eyes.
However I just saw you're an engineer so I'll subtract 10 dick points because I know most of y'all can't even help yourselves from thinking you're the absolute authority on what's right and wrong.
I'm not insisting on being right. I am right.
Cool. There really isn't anything there worth seeing except people with beady eyes and flapping heads. Btw your maple syrup is tasteless, overpriced, and something only a douche bag would enjoy.
