If the US started doing this (scanning phones for islamic terrorism files) to foreigners at the border, would you care? If it was just a scan and no data was harvested?
I believe strongly in the right to privacy, but I have to admit, I do not want anyone coming into my country who has beheading videos on their phone. Unless they are a journalist or something, obviously.

Actually yes I would. What we see now as abhorrent may and will change in the future. The images you are describing obviously make my stomach churn, but how long will it be until they are scanning to deny access to anyone they want to. For example...."Oh it looks like that is a Jewish ceremony." Once this door opens, it can be used for so many other evil things.
