>There’s a border patrol show on Netflix and they show a few phones being searched. It’s pretty clear it’s not about terrorists and bad people having bad files in the cloud. It’s about people coming on a tourists visa and working. They’d find all sorts of emails talking a out a job.

Yes, those are non-citizens requesting entry. This sounds like it applies to everyone - including NZ citizens.

And regardless, searches need to be proportional.

Full blown cavity/strip searches at random could cut down on the importation of illegal drugs, but civilized countries require a reasonable suspicion for invasive searches.

Why not apply that logic to digital devices?
