    Yeh that’s very different to saying they can in the whole 100mil area.

    At an airport or actual border crossing yeah, I can understand that. They’d only be doing it when they have a big suspicion of something, at least you’d hope. According to them it’s like 0.01% of people a year.

      Nope. They often do it entirely randomly. I’ve seen videos of them pulling over multiple vehicles to be searched simultaneously at a crossing before.

        Oh I was more talking about the mobile phone checking then just a physical search of a car. Random car searches make sense as a deterrent.
