10,000 phone searches in the last two years.

3.3m visitors in March 2024 alone.

So something like 0.01% of travellers get their phones searched. How are those 0.01% selected?

> The agency does not provide information on the success rate for searches, but has said a phone would only be seized where officers suspected it had “special forfeited goods” such as “illegal pornography, terrorism-related material and media that has been, or would be, refused classification”.

One wonders how such a suspicion is formed.
