Afternoon y’all.

My company is trying to get me to go to the US to train some folks in our department, the problem is I don’t trust the US border agency whatsoever especially when it comes to my digital devices.

My boss crosses weekly so it makes me think there won’t be an issue however, I really don’t want to take the chance of being searched.

What’s been your recent experience crossing the border?

Edit: I should note that I haven’t left my province in about 15 years so this is all new to me.

Edit 2: Thank you all for the responses, I spoke with a majority of my co-workers and HR and for the most part everyone agrees that the Americans should come up to Canada or we train someone who is comfortable entering the US.

My HR department is going to speak with my boss hopefully sorts out a plan that works with everyone.

    I recently crossed by car. It was no different from pre-Trump crossings: a few pro forma questions, they looked in the trunk, and then waved us through.

    I was expecting them to demand my phone or be difficult. That wasn’t the case.
