Have to disagree with that one. Simply entering a country is not justification for searching someones phone. I don't care what the law says. People have a right to privacy.
That's how it should be. But that's not what the law says.
Not since 2001 they don’t.
They do, just because the government says otherwise doesn't make it true.
Yes, it does. Thats what governance means.
I’m not saying I agree with it, just that it’s always been so
You literally said they are not violating rights by doing this.
He’s saying that right was taken away by George W Bush.
Governments cannot take rights away. They can only infringe upon them. They are rights. Not privileges.
Then clearly you’re talking about deontological rights and they’re talking about legal rights and both wasting your breath
That should have been obvious by the fact that I said I don't care about the laws.
