Today's Presentation:

Continuing a practice started under the Obama administration, US Customs & Border Patrol has stepped up its searches of electronic devices at the US border. This presentation discusses exactly what happens when a device is searched; the implications of these searches on our civil liberties, personal lives, and careers; and steps to take before, during, and after a trip to avoid any issues along the way.​
