He was the airport and he was put on a plane and sent back home.
I don't know if he was offered to accept being banned for 10 years in exchange for not being charged though but he got caught red handed.
We've talked on here many times about DHS (I said ICE above but it was DHS) having the right to search phones, iPhones, laptops, etc. Most guys simply clean their iPhone, put all their numbers and texts somewhere and download them back once they're out of the airport.
