You don’t have rights when crossing a border. If you’re not willing to have customs rooting through your data, delete it and restore from backup after you arrive.
The problem is that this also applies within a radius around a “port of entry”. So everybody that lives within about 100 miles of the coast, an airport, or a rail line that crosses a border — which is probably about 80+% of any country.
It is definitely not 80% of the US
Might be 80% of the population of the US.
The US has a decently large area. The larger the area the bigger the ratio of are to circumference
The circumference is where everyone lives. The area is comparatively empty.
The costs count though, and most of the population lives there.

If we're talking about US citizens entering the US, AFAIK they have no right to deny you entry.
Sure, but they can still fuck up your life
Oh, you definitely have rights when crossing many borders. But, of course, it depends on the border.
