Apple employee files complaint against Customs and Border Protection for asking to unlock his corporate laptop and phone
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Andreas Gal, an Apple employee, at San Francisco International Airport in December and asked him to unlock his company-owned phone and laptop, the ACLU said on Tuesday.
The episode highlights the conflicts that arise when CBP officers use their broad powers to demand to search digital devices. In this case, Gal's phone and laptop were property of Apple and had corporate secrets stored on them. He continued:"Because I was uncertain about my legal responsibilities to my employer, I asked the agents if I could speak to my employer or an attorney before unlocking my devices. This request seemed to aggravate the customs officers."
Gal was eventually allowed to leave with his Apple-owned laptop and phone, but officers revoked his Global Entry status that enables him to reduce waiting time during international travel, according to his account.
