> far as I know, in the US you can politely decline a phone search if you are a US citizen

Same with being filmed at the airport. Last time I passed through US airports there were signs that you're monitored and it goes to blah blah database, and that if you're a US citizen, you can request to be removed. If you're not, go fuck yourself and pray all your biometric data isn't stored at the cheapest possible vendor and about to be leaked.

And would anyone be surprised if asking to be removed was also a way to get subjected to additional screening in future?
