"Borderless Surveillance: US Citizens Face Expanded Digital Search Powers Abroad The US government has quietly expanded its authority to search digital devices without a warrant, not just for citizens within the country's borders, but also for those traveling abroad. This move has significant implications for American citizens who may assume their rights remain intact while overseas. Under the new policy, Customs and Border Protection agents can now search laptops, smartphones, and other electronic devices of US citizens without a warrant, raising concerns about the erosion of digital privacy and the potential for abuse of power. As international travel becomes increasingly common, the question remains: what exactly does this mean for the rights of US citizens on foreign soil?"
They can also search it without a warrant if you're flying abroad. Yes, even if you're an American citizen.
