Originally saw via this article: https://www.visahq.com/news/2026-03-29/hk/hong-kongs-new-bor...

– the BBC article's first paragraph states, emphasis mine:

> Hong Kong police can now demand phone or computer passwords from those who are suspected of breaching the wide-ranging National Security Law (NSL).

– indicating this isn't a blanket right at the border. Anyone have any actual knowledge of the situation?
