You don’t have rights when crossing a border. If you’re not willing to have customs rooting through your data, delete it and restore from backup after you arrive.

The problem is that this also applies within a radius around a “port of entry”. So everybody that lives within about 100 miles of the coast, an airport, or a rail line that crosses a border — which is probably about 80+% of any country.

It is definitely not 80% of the US

Might be 80% of the population of the US.

If we’re talking about US citizens entering the US, AFAIK they have no right to deny you entry.

Oh, you definitely have rights when crossing many borders. But, of course, it depends on the border.
