How do they judge the thing, by the content of your phone or computer?

If they are really concerned or suspicious, they will sometimes ask to see your phone or computer. But their analysis is what in fact the individual will be doing in the U.S. - that is, will he or she be doing productive work - and who is the primary beneficiary of the individual's activities.
What if I refuses to unlock laptop or phone, can I go home (outside the U.S)?
