Yeah, even crossing (or just existing within a couple hundred miles of) a US border, even as a US citizen, you give up almost all privacy and rights against search and seizure including personal "papers" stored on any storage device to border patrol and customs agents. It's crazy the freedoms and protections people have voted away in the name of security theater and convenience.
