Former Mozilla CTO Andreas Gal has filed a complaint against US customs agents for aggressive interrogation and demanding the passcodes for his phones and laptops and denying him access to an attorney. His expedited Global Entry status was revoked for allegedly refusing to comply with the search. Andreas and the ACLU are requesting an investigation into the incident. He works for Apple these days.

    At this point, I'm all for, having a different phone in each country. Leave my main phone at home, backup the contents somewhere, and get a new phone for every place I need it. There's compatibility issues between networks and the like anyway, so may as well get a cheapo phone when traveling to a new place. Unless, you really can't be without candy crush for a day.
