Ossia, in parole povere, chiunque transiti per i confini US può  
essere passibile di controllo del proprio bagaglio "digitale"

In some cases, CBP and/or ICE may search a traveler because he is the  
subject of, or  person-of-interest in, an ongoing law enforcement  
investigation and was flagged by a law enforcement “lookout” in the  
CBP enforcement system known as TECS.10  If questions regarding the  
admissibility of an individual or his or her belongings cannot be  
resolved at the primary inspection station, CBP may elect to conduct a  
more in-depth inspection of the traveler (referred to as “secondary  
inspection”).  At any point during the inspection process, CBP may  
refer the traveler and his belongings to ICE for a search,  
questioning, and for possible investigation of violations of law.  ICE  
has concurrent border search authority with CBP and may join or  
independently perform a border search at any time.


In many instances, CBP and ICE conduct border searches of electronic  
devices with the knowledge of the traveler.  However, in some  
situations it is not practicable for law enforcement reasons to inform  
the traveler that his electronic device has been searched.
