Didn't organisations like TSA already have rights to look through your phone/laptop at the US customs? I read quite a few articles urging foreigners to wipe their personal devices before coming to US if they care about their privacy.

Those articles are stupid though. You are just marking yourself for even more trouble with wiping your devices prior to entering the US, essentially making sure they got a reason to inspect you more.

TSA doesn't operate at the border. That's CBP.
