Canadians who plan to cross the U.S. border this year may have a higher chance of getting their phones and other electronic devices searched. The latest data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reveal that 14,899 international travellers' electronic devices were searched between April and June this year, up from 12,260 in the previous quarter. The lawyer, who has a dual U.S.-Canadian citizenship and frequently crosses the land border in B.C., said this definitely means travellers are more likely to have their phones searched. In April, the Canadian government updated the U.S. travel advisory with a serious warning, advising travellers to "expect scrutiny" of electronic devices at the border. Its agents have the authority to search a traveller's computer, phone, camera,or other electronic devices.
