U.S. customs agents are searching more cellphones — including those belonging to Americans - The Washington Post

'U.S. customs agents conducted 60 percent more searches of travelers’ cellphones, laptops and other electronic devices during the government’s 2017 fiscal year, according to statistics released Friday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). '

'Passwords provided by travelers would be destroyed and not retained by the government, the CBP official said. '

'They will be asked to disable the devices’ data transmission, according to a senior CBP official who briefed reporters on the changes Friday. '

'According to the senior CBP official, about 20 percent of the travelers whose devices are inspected are U.S. citizens. '

'CBP agents would not be allowed to seek information stored externally or on a “cloud” linked to the device. '
