The warning they're providing is that devices and social might be searched. I think that's a pretty sensible warning with things as they are.

Border searches have always been a thing, but I don't think there's any doubt that travellers are being grilled more in the last 100 days.

It's different if there's a spouse you need to visit in the US.

The US has never been an interesting destination for me, but if I were planning a holiday there just for fun I would definitely look at other destinations for the time being.
