I'm more bothered by the fact that customs agents can demand people unlock their phones [0].

The government already has your picture, but letting them copy device data over is a much more significant invasion of privacy

Also kind of pointless too, because anyone with something actually important could just encrypt it, upload it somewhere, and wipe the device. Good luck putting the packets through customs
