Alian Philippon, a 38-year-old citizen from Ste-Anne-des-Plaines, Quebec, will be facing up to 24,000 Canadian Dollars fine and one-year jail time for refusing to unlock his BlackBerry smartphone during airport security checking.
Reportedly, Philipon has been charged with ““obstructing border officials” for obstructing a detailed and intensive security screening by Halifax airport’s border service officials.
The Canadian has been detained since he did not let the security officials check his phone data by refusing to provide its password to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers. He arrived this week from the Dominican Republic.
