Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

claimed they did not need a warrant to search Tunick’s phone because he had not yet crossed the U.S. border.

Also no right to search / seize his phone then. US law doesn't apply on non-US soil.

If it's not US soil, it's not a detention, it's a rendition, a kidnapping.

Also, I don't know how citizenship works I this respect in the US, but in my country a citizen cannot be denied entry. It can be detained upon entering, but by then you are in sovereign soil.

Its the same in the US. They can't deny entry to US citizens.

But what law/rights do apply there?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

US law. But the law they used as a excuse is bullshit.

When in doubt, do not travel To US&A
