The US is forcing its tourists to give away a list of all their social media accounts and all their email accounts. If you're a foreign journalist writing pseudonymously for your safety, you must now share that information with the US government to enter the country. This isn't quite on the level of forcing people to install malware on their phone yet, but give it a couple years.

>>murbar+04
They already can force you to give up physical access to your phone, which is basically the worst option.

>>folkra+N6
They can't force you to unlock it, however.

>>saagar+A7
Well, they can confiscate it and/or deport you if you don't.

>>pjc50+T8
Sure. If you're not a citizen, they can also probably hold you for a while too. But I don't think they can compel you to unlock the device.

> for a while

Not just a while. The US Patriot Act gave powers to allow border controls to hold people indefinitely without cause.

Please produce at least several prominent examples of that actually happening to tourists over the last decade.

The US is a massive country that ~75 million foreigners visit each year. In 2018 that figure hit an all-time record high near 78 million, which is in curious contrast to your setup premise.

With so many people visiting the US every year, you surely can produce a very large number of examples of toursts being held indefinitely - for many years even, one imagines - without cause.
