Your question implies that nothing has changed from past administrations and we can rely upon our past experience.
Nobody has been told to pick out certain foreigners before just for political review, so they didn't.
Now, somebody "dressed like a leftist" might find your phone can be checked in 5 minutes flat by a computer, and of course the NSA has been recording your every email and post for 15 years.
It's what we were worried about when
Snowden showed it
My question assumes nothing of the sort: I asked how often, not what is believed, but what is, presently, fact. They found one at that search, but how many phones were searched before they found that one single target?
I find it also hard to believe that was the only phone onboard with anti-Trump material. But I also found wave-particle reality hard to believe until it was measured.
And I'm dubious of the five minute search, you have witnessed this?
I've done it.
A straightforward app uses the plug into the phone to copy every data directory to a faster computer that can search for keywords and combinations.
The "five minutes" does depend on how many GB are in the phone.
In five minutes?? I will accept that you have indeed tested this, but I remain dubious.
Well, I just pulled every photo, download, and document off my phone in 1.8 minutes, but then I only had 2 GB.
The speed it ran at would have carried 6.6GB off the phone in 300 seconds, five minutes.
Of course, it would depend on what you're carrying around. Even then, if they skip photos and movies an d just go for text files, emails, etc, 6.6GB is a lot.
And you can hand over your password or be refused entry, that's long established. No privacy rights.
So then likely not enough time to scan and discover that one juicy one. Would take longer farting about to choose folders and files, so a dump of the user partition as a block, and hope the pdfs are clear text?
If you grab everything, the copy runs faster, that might be simplest.
It barely rises to the level of "AI" to write a program that looks at folder names, email-titles, searches every byte of text for keywords or word-combinations; using a database of 10,000 confiscated phones to know every trick every drug dealer ever tried, and of course every smuggler. Tries top 1000 passwords.
Their every rule-of-thumb encoded in the program.
While U wait!
#Panopticon seems a far more likely culprit. Positive ID in the crowd, and so targeted not for merely seeming 'lefty' but as was said before, because they already had a dossier.
I'm your basic IT engineer who happens to know a bunch of the "OpenBSD" security guys, but not a security professional.
You might read:

...they keep the phone image in a database for 15 years.
I was giving the technical time-needed, but Newsweek says they take 30 minutes in practice.
nbcnews.com/news/us-news/what-…
..article notes how rare it is, bringing us back to my post that it may become more common now, because it's getting easier.
If you say yes, it will take Customs and Border Protection Agents 30 minutes to search your phone. If you say no, you are taking a risk, say experts.E.D. Cauchi (NBC News)

@teledyn @RoyBrander @dkmackinnon Let me tell you a story. In 2020, the Alberta Court of Appeal ruled unanimously that portions of the Customs Act were unconstitutional.
The court found the act violated the protection against unreasonable search and seizure by border agents, because it allowed for what the court called “suspicion-less and unlimited” searches of our personal digital devices. #cdnpoli #abpoli #Canada #Alberta #S7
teledyn 𓂀 reshared this.
@teledyn @RoyBrander @dkmackinnon
That violation, held the court, could not be saved by section 1 of the Charter, because it allowed unfettered and unrestricted access to people’s most personal and intimate information, and because it allowed the state almost unlimited latitude to dig around in the what the court called our “biographical core of identity.” The powerful judgment was written by Madame Justice Ritu Khullar, would would go on to become Alberta's chief justice.
I have a "reasonable general concern" that some travellers could be targeted for phone and computer searches based on their political views.The Line

Web indexing: where is Qwant's independence?
Qwant 🇫🇷, the French search engine, is probably the biggest European engine that exists today.
But we often hear that Qwant is actually Microsoft Bing in disguise. How much of this is true?
They have their own crawling tools and algorithms, but they can use Bing's results as a supplement when people search for images or things where Qwant isn't strong enough yet.
They explain it here:

@All Europeans 🇪🇺 @GunChleoc The difference is this: Qwant is actually usable thanks to them performing this graudal shift. If anyone wants true independent non-US search engine, they could try the UK-based mojeek.com. However, its search results are still lacking as a result of them building their index entirely from scratch.
Another important thing to know about Qwant is that they teamed up with Ecosio to create own European index for German and French content and expect to go live with all-own search results for German and French later this year. betterweb.qwant.com/en/2024/11…

Lige nu er der mange, der tester friendica af, og de fleste vil gerne oprette grupper.
Grupper er lidt anderledes end på grupper på Facebook, men hvis du nogensinde har prøvet at oprette en Facebook Page, så minder det ret meget om det.
På friendica er en gruppe reelt en bruger, der deler alt. Så du skal have oprettet en “associeret bruger”, der er knyttet til din primære bruger.
Denne 🧵 hiver dig igennem de nødvendige skridt.
Jeg har lavet denne guide fra min mobil - hvis der er behov for, at jeg også laver den fra en computer, så sig til 🙂

Despite Trump's threats over Greenland.

While the world had some jokes,
In search of eggs, they took a hand.

This is disturbing and blocks me from creating more articels and editing existing ones. See screencopies below.
