An Apple employee detained by US border agents over his iPhone and laptop speaks out.
"They wanted to see my itinerary on my smartphone. I offered to email them my itinerary and they insisted on seeing it on my smartphone. This was very alarming for me. These are not regular consumer devices. These are special devices used by Apple software and hardware engineers," Gal said.
In the 10 years prior to becoming a citizen, Gal said he made about 100 international trips, all without incident. As Gal was leaving, the CBP agents confiscated his Global Entry card and revoked his status. Global Entry is a program administered by CBP which allows pre-screened, low-risk international travelers to skip security lines upon arrival in the U.S.
"However, in general, all travelers arriving to the U.S. are subject to CBP inspection. This inspection may include electronic devices such as computers, disks, drives, tapes, mobile phones and other communication devices, cameras, music and other media players and any other electronic or digital devices," the spokesperson wrote, in part.
"Approximately 0.007 percent of arriving international travelers processed by CBP officers had their electronic devices searched . In FY16, 0.005 percent of arriving international travelers had their electronic devices searched ," a CBP spokesperson wrote in an email."Why me? I'm a boring, middle-aged white male software executive. I'm very average.
