A tourist has claimed he was denied entry into the US for a rather unusual reason.<\/strong><\/p>\n

People wishing to enter America risk having their phone checked by\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0Customs and Border Protection (CBP), officers have long held.<\/p>\n

The CBP website\u00a0states<\/a>: “CBP\u2019s ability to lawfully inspect electronic devices crossing the border is integral to keeping America safe in an increasingly digital world.<\/p>\n

“All travelers crossing the United States border are subject to CBP inspection. On rare occasions, CBP officers may search a traveler\u2019s mobile phone, computer, camera, or other electronic devices during the inspection process.”<\/p>\n

While they say it’s ‘rare’ that devices are checked, some believe there’s been an increase in officers exercising this right of late, so much so people are being urged to\u00a0turn their iPhone’s face ID off<\/a>\u00a0before their\u00a0travels<\/a>, or to turn their cellphone off completely.<\/p>\n

This is because CBP officers can reportedly unlock your device using your likeness ‘without violating the Constitution’.<\/p>\n

One person who claims to have recently had their phone checked is 21-year-old Mads Mikkelsen (no, not the\u00a0Casino Royale<\/em>\u00a0actor).<\/p>\n

Mads says that when officers looked through his phone, they discovered a meme of Vice President\u00a0JD Vance<\/a>\u00a0with no hair and an egg-shaped head, resulting in them denying him entry in the US.<\/p>\n

The original meme was made by X user\u00a0@DaveMcNamee3000<\/a>, who initially created the picture in October 2024, vowing to ‘ turn JD Vance into a progressively apple cheeked baby’ for every 100 likes it got.<\/p>\n
