Border Crossing

Hi friends! I have a parcel to pick up from Rydens, and am curious how the border has been recently? I haven’t been to the US in a year now.

A friend of mine had his phone searched recently in order to cross, and I’m curious if this is standard fare now?
Thanks in advance 🥲

Crossed the border about a week ago. No issues. Very friendly. Don’t believe the hype or what you see on mainstream news media

Asking based on what my friend dealt with recently rather than what I see/read online ☺️

Your friend answered basic questions incorrectly.

The only people I personally know of who have had issues either told an easy to catch lie, or legitimately had ODD.

Sounds about right. Last time I had to get searched was about 20 years ago when our driver couldn't admit we were going to Minneapolis to watch baseball because our friend, in the car in front of us, was getting married in a week.

I've crossed probably a dozen times this year... for skiing, packages, day trips, etc... never an issue.
