Accepted answer
Border agents can’t search your phone unless they have reason to believe you committed a crime due to a recent court ruling.
From the Guardian:
US border authorities cannot search the cellphones of travelers without having some reason to believe a particular traveler has committed a crime, a federal appeals court ruled on Wednesday.
This decision is binding only within the jurisdiction of the US Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit: Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
