I know this isn’t the best forum for such a question, but I’ve been wondering about the CBP’s ability to deny a citizen entry. Seems like something they couldn’t actually do, but I am thinking they could keep you in a cell until you complied? Is that about right?

I’d love the ability to give them a duress pass code, that coughs up exactly what I want them to see, and nothing else.

I’d like to fill the free space on my devices with expletives aimed directly at the border patrol, but they might not take to kindly to it.

I would love to get detained for failure to provide a password at the border, but I have a feeling my family wouldn’t be quite as happy with my show of defiance.
From what I read last night, it sounds like the US is going to push forward with an initiative requiring refugee/asylum seekers/visa applicants to hand over their social media passwords as part of their application.
?!?!?!
If any other country in the world did this, the US state department would tell people to avoid that country like the plague.
