Why? Incase he was smuggling more memes into the country stuffed up his ass?
They wanted to see his massive dick
I mean, isn’t that where all memes come from?
Some memes come from Venus, some come from Mars
Your arse?
Sexual predators are attracted to immigration jobs because they have ultimate power and no accountability.
Behind the Bastards re-aired their series on Border Control recently.
One of the stories is border control agents trading a woman for basketball tickets.
If you wanted to make America more secure, disband ICE and TSA completely and replace them with nothing.
Smaller, more secure government.
Ahhh, what?
Btw, CBP is not the same as the TSA. CBP is customs and border control. TSA keeps people from bringing bombs and guns on planes.
TSA pretends to keep people from bringing bombs and guns on planes.

We did just fine without them for centuries.
Incorrect; countries have always protected their borders in some capacity.
As did America, before the Homeland Security Act.
Except that one time when they let the Europeans in and they slaughtered everyone.

You are being downvoted for pointing out a fact. wtf
Lemmy is Reddit with a different political bias.
“we” means people, not countries
What kind of “discussion” beyond “Don’t Go To Trumpist USA It’s Not Worth It, PS RIP Their Tourist Industry” do you want to meaningfully have?
You can meaningfully discuss Deez Nuts.
Lmao gottem
I get the point of needing some kind of security at the airport, and having a national agency provide said security makes more sense to me than requiring each airport to wing it. provides some consistency. that being said, i have plenty of complaints about the current way it’s implemented.
Split the country up in 50 different countries
Worked for the Balkans
The US Department of Homeland Security has rejected Kitchen’s claim, calling it “unequivocally false.”
DHS is unequivocally lying through their teeth.
Never travel to the united states
It’s quite clear the only way we’ll learn is the hard way. We’ll see how much smug entitlement we can sustain when the world moves on without us.
Or if you do, fill your phone with 1000s of up close photos of assholes. See if they figure it out.
Realistically the next big security push on mobile devices, due to things like this, should be plausible deniability. In the same way that VeraCrypt lets you set up encryption where you can “unlock” encrypted content and it’s a fallback to secure your privacy, phones should allow a backup account or something similar that has select group of apps, photos and messages, perhaps depending on the PIN you use to unlock your phone
I thought about doing something similar with my laptop, simply by naming my main account Guest, and using my name as the account they would check at customs.
Like 10+ years ago I had a “private photos” app that would open up two completely different photo vaults based on what pin you entered. I didn’t even think it was a big deal at the time because it makes perfect sense to do. I’m amazed that hasn’t become standard practice in the meantime.
Fill your gallery entirely with nothing but AI upscaled 4k gifs of tubgirl
Is there an app to make this happen easily? Maybe a GrapheneOS feature??
Why would grapheneOS have an ai upscale feature? There isn’t even an assistant by default
I think goatse is more appropriate.
At first I was going to comment that goatse was never a video, and therefore could not be made into an animated gif, but then I remembered img2vid exists. I could see some wild AI slop being pretty hilarious.
I’m a Pain Olympics fan myself
And enjoy it when they assault you and lock you away for years. You have no rights in their country, don’t risk it.
The sad thing is I agree with you, but the sadder thing is I was born here, and still live here. But I’m going to be filling my phone with these anyway when I travel abroad and (presumably) return.
Not returning is pretty enticing though, if I didn’t have elderly parents to take care of.
I live on the border. I’ve been many times. The day Trump was elected the second time I swore I would never cross the border again.
The next Olympics in the US should be interesting. “And none of the other teams or their fans were able to enter the US…”
If history holds, it will be the last olympics for a decade
Olympics and World Cup. I bet you’ll see stories of athletes being denied entry when those events are on.
It will be heavily boycotted. It will be MAGA-approved athletes getting their asses kicked by the Russians and the Chinese.
Welp, I guess I can’t go to the US.
Oh no.
The logic of vance meme to strip search is quite a convoluted mess.
You never know where they are hiding those dank memes.
The proper response to this is to post that meme to even more places. ✊
Oh shit, I’m doomed. Good thing I’m already here. Right? That’s a good thing?
Narrator: It was not a good thing
I will never not read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice.
Fuck! . . . We need to start figuring out a way to not shoot that gorilla. NOW!
“Apparent time-travel dives in front of gorilla. Billions baffled by unsolved mystery”
“Cross-country high speed rail opens tomorrow” . . .
Land of the fee and the home of the slave
Why the fuck are they allowed access to people’s personal devices, people have a right to privacy
Because people allow them to. “I forgot the PIN” is still a valid answer. But I want to know why people are bringing their primary phones at all.
Primary phone is just your phone. You bring the one phone ypu have becuse you didn’t belive the US had really become Tajikistan levels of draconian.
If you refuse access they immediately refuse entry. Which means you’re immediately deported
OK, so in that case, why the fuck are people bringing their normal phones?!
Because you shouldn’t need a fuckin burner phone to visit the land of the fuckin free?
Well said
Because most people don’t expect border security to demand access to their phone?
Because they are going on a holiday? Like lmao
Lots of people don’t know the US has turned fascist I guess
Aww are the party that never shuts up about hurt feelings hypocrites, shocker
“We already know we’re gonna send him back, but hang on a minute. Let’s add some vile invasion of privacy first.”
Gotta pump up that Palantir database
