I’m not convinced (despite laws may say it), if computer inspection, even “temporal” confiscation, is being used in EU. At least I never heard about that, and even less in my own country, though I may be missing cases in other EU countries.
Definitively if that happens to me in EU, I will not provide passwords even if I don’t have anything to hide, but just because customer’s info confidentiality, signed NDAs, etc. I don’t think that will bring me to the jail. However, in US, detention is a fact, right?

What is specific to the US in all that? Afaik, customs or immigration
officers have similar rights in many, if not most, countries. And they
use them from time to time, at random or as a result of profiling.
Before you formally enter the country, your rights are limited
in most cases, not only in the US.
