Bro like the false information passed on by Nigerians just to prevent others from trying to see the world is just alarming!

They don't do it for everyone
They select passengers at random,
Sometimes,most passengers are always anxious,paranoid and the likes,
You would be excused and a proper search would be done on you.
You are entering another man's country ,they have to the right to protect them selves in how ever way they deem fit,so it it involves invading your privacy,they would do it

In the case of the person in question, he entered US through another state different from what he said before the interviewer. I think that brought the suspicion.

Yes. They can't profile you with your phone details with that. They have to look somewhere else for profiling.

Oga. Check my main post I said a colleague. We are in the same trade. Working on the same Sculpture we needed the pictures for.
If not being careful of revealing ones identity on a forum as this, I've got the pics of the said project.
But I won't post any.
You are free to believe what you want.

He applied for visa on the basis of going for an art festival in a state already claiming he has no family in the US. My guy entered through another State. That was the first red flag. Before Searching his phone and seeing the browsing record.

Oga believing or not believing does not add to or remove from helping intending travelers with the little info. at my disposal.

Have a good day

Guy dey flag people randomly. U dont even have to be a suspect for anything. They pick people randomly from the line sometimes for secondary check. Stop fooling yourself, wey u never go anywhere. Go you tube, video full there of border security and port of enter security.
I was pulled from the line randomly in Chicago, and they used a dog to sniff me, rubbed some kind of wipes on my shoes soles and my hands, ran a quick test and let me go. I was with members of my family and I was the only one pulled

There are also some POE's known for such,
In most cases you find experienced people landing in another POE then taking the train or cab to there final destination.

Well, I think you are right.
Somehow the green passport always singles you out for unnecessary suspicion.
The issue happened in 2015

I just remembered what a younger colleague of mine in the US told me.
When he was traveling to the US years back, he was delayed at the airport by US immigration.
They were interrogating him and some others.
For more than one hour he was delayed. The person waiting to pick him up was worried too as she waited.

He said, one of the interrogating officers asked for his phone and he instantly gave it to him.
He said the first place the guy went to was his browsing history.

"Why did you have to Google AK/47?" The guy asked.

He said when he heard the question he smiled and the guy was surprised.

"Can you answer the question please?" The guy said.

"Can I have my phone back so I can show you why sir?" My guy replied.

The officer handed the phone back to him and my guy went into his picture folder and showed him some photos of himself at work.
He is an artist and shortly before the time of traveling, he was handling a sculpture project of a Soldier. So, he needed the picture references of AK/47 to get a perfect job.

The officer looked at him and got convinced.

He said, some of the other guys were taken to the room for deportation. Some of them were Nigerians and they were already crying.
My guy was freed and he has since been living there.

Be careful of browsing history when traveling.
The devil can use anything to kill someone's joy.

I buy a new phone whenever I am going outside Nigeria. I don't want stress of this immigration people.

Better still, while browsing, you can switch to incognito browsing instead of the normal browsing. Incognito browsing will not show any history.
