Phone searches at the border
About this episode
This episode discusses phone privacy at the border, early retirements due to AI, and a new espresso machine that remembers orders.
Your phone is not private. A U.S. Customs agent can legally search it when you return home from your trip abroad. They scan every picture, text, or email. In 2025, agents searched 55,318 devices. I’ll tell you why this is happening and how to protect yourself. We’re also looking at why some workers are choosing to retire early rather than retool for AI again. Plus, no more repeating yourself twice at drive-thru. Philips’ new espresso machine will remember your coffee order. Brew and conversation go a long way. Learn more about your ad choices.
