    "French researcher denied entry to US for 'expressing personal opinion' on Trump policies"

    "France's research minister expressed 'concern' on Wednesday at this decision by the US authorities. The researcher underwent a random check on arrival, before his computer and phone were searched, a source said."

    https://www.lemonde.fr/en/intern…

    "This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy,"

      But no, from what I know only the US does this bullshit. Nobody will "random check" or search your phone in Europe
