The Second Circuit rejected that argument, holding that neither the Fourth nor the First Amendment carves out a special exemption for phones at the border.

The second circuit used the right argument but somehow came to the wrong conclusion. The 4th carves out no special exemption, meaning you need a warrant.

Could it be because the technology was still 250 fucking years away?

Or don't travel with a phone at all. Take a digital camera and use that for pictures.

Anything else, just buy a used phone at your destination and load all your accounts on that, then delete and reset your phone and sell it before you leave

We all need shitty travel phones with very little on them now.

Or don't travel there.
