Americans Shocked to Find Their Rights Literally Vanish at U.S. Airports

• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Barbara Boland

If you're traveling outside the United States this summer you might want to rethink taking your electronics along. Government agents have been detaining American citizens without arrest, searching, and in some cases downloading the entire contents of phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices. And this all happens without a warrant or access to an attorney.

"The border has become a rights-free zone for Americans who have to travel," Senator Ron Wyden said in a statement to TAC. "The founders never could have imagined that the government would be able to sift through your entire digital life, from pictures to emails and even where you've been, just because you decide to take a vacation or travel for work."
