I have one last question. Does the investigation always have to be physical? I'm not a technologist. Is the border agency able to retrieve data off phones at a distance, once I cross over? We had the spy issue with the Toronto Pearson Airport where phone calls and receptions back and forth were being monitored.

Does it always have to be a physical intervention, or can it be otherwise? Do we know?
