While it's rare we've seen checkpoints be used to physically access and/or alter the property of human rights activists i.e. by placing hardware for audio recording etc in/on electronic devices and other personal possessions. Be cautious and careful with this. Keep eyes on your items.

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry.
