Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!
Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”
Also no right to search / seize his phone then. US law doesn’t apply on non-US soil.
But what law/rights do apply there?
US law. But the law they used as a excuse is bullshit.
When in doubt, do not travel To US&A
If it’s not US soil, it’s not a detention, it’s a rendition, a kidnapping.
Also, I don’t know how citizenship works I this respect in the US, but in my country a citizen cannot be denied entry. It can be detained upon entering, but by then you are in sovereign soil.
Its the same in the US. They can’t deny entry to US citizens.
