Forum-wide experiment to gauge surveillance
Posted: 19 May 2026, 07:23
So the other day I stated my reasoning for resuming activity here. That is, an intrusive and insulting search when I re-entered a US port of entry. They seized my phone, looked through everything, and stopped just short of shoving a camera up my ass. The reason? They claimed it was random, or just due to "probable cause" or whatever. I was held for 2 hours, and I ultimately had to be released because I AM NOT A FUCKING TERRORIST, YOU FBI FUCKS. You really do owe me an apology for that, but I would be surprised.
I don't buy the "random" thing. Just like Darth said at the end of his video with SlyBoy, where a group of cops seized him and questioned him. The police told him it was a "routine training thing", which was BS. I fully believe I was violated because of my affiliation here, however brief and insignificant. And/ or, the Feds just want to remind me they can FUCK WITH ME whenever they want.
So here's my idea for an experiment: anyone in this forum who lives near the border, leave and then re-enter the US. It can be for vacation, or just a quick trip. If you live up near Darth in Michigan, this should be easy. Then, report back here with what your experience was like. If you are also seized, it will give us an idea of how paranoid they are. Just a few pointers:
Delete EVERYTHING from your phone, or other devices.
If they ask for a reason, or ask where you went (like they did with me) just have something ready to say.
