They took his international phone away for more than 20 minutes. He assumes they searched it.
When an agent returned with Mr. Allababidi鈥檚 international phone, the agent demanded access to Mr. Allababidi鈥檚 regular phone. Mr. Allababidi declined to unlock it. The agents responded by confiscating both phones and let him go home. More than two months later, agents returned the international phone. Seven months later, he has yet to receive his regular phone.
