A Canadian, Alain Philippon, was detained at Halifax Stanfield International Airport when he refused to unlock his BlackBerry smartphone at the request of the Canada Border Services Agency officials. He was also charged with hindering or preventing border officers from performing their role under the Customs Act.

Alain is reported to have said that he refused to unlock his BlackBerry because he considers the information on it to be “personal.” He was released on bail and will stand trial at a later date. This is an interesting development and could set a precedent for future situations.

Perhaps they sensed there are some information that could be dangerous contained in the phone.

at most border posts especially airports, you are required to have your phones/laptops charged enough to power on for inspection (due to terrorists threats) it could be a remote trigger or packed with explosives

no Nigerian man would risk his chances of getting into Canada if its only a phone password that was the obstacle
