Green card holders detained. A French researcher denied entry for anti-Trump messages. A new travel ban on 40+ countries coming.

Given all these encroachments on travelers' civil liberties, we've updated our guide to digital privacy while crossing US borders. www.wired.com/2017/02/guid...
How to Enter the US With Your Digital Privacy Intact
Crossing into the United States has become increasingly dangerous for digital privacy. Here are a few steps you can take to minimize the risk of Customs and Border Patrol accessing your data.

I don't know if all of this is true. I'm not taking it at face value, BUT the concern is real and it's not completely out of the realm of possibilities
You just do not go to the USA at this point, period. At least if you're bold enough to have negative opinions about Trump and his administration (like around 3/4 of all Europeans). It's becoming like a trip to Russia at this point - you can't rule out you'll be jailed in some creepy power play.
French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated.

Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

CJ is an old friend and a longtime cDc NSF member. He suffered a fall and broke his neck -- his insurance refused to pay for an MRI, which led to the break going undiagnosed for a couple of weeks, until his vertebrae had degraded to the point of quadriplegia.
