> I believe in most countries, customs can inspect your luggage. They can’t force you to reveal information that they’re not even certain you have. this isn't a very useful way to think about it. they can definitely search your luggage, obviously, but the border guards/immigration officials/random law enforcement people hanging around/etc can also just deny non-citizens entry to a country, usually for any or no reason. there's documented cases of Australia[0] demanding to search phones of even citizens entering the country, and the US CBP explicitly states they may deny entry for non citizens if you don't give them the password and while they can't deny entry to citizens, they state they may seize the device then do whatever they want to it[1]. 0: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/18/returning-trav... 1: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/cbp-search-authority/border-searc... |
