Option 1, why did you bring decoys? You should probably sit here in this cell for a bit while we work out what the fuck you're doing.

Option 2, they can't stop you from entering but they can make you enter directly into a jail cell, or generally make your life miserable. See the owner of cock.li, who had all of his electronics seized twice.

OK, what's your point? Your responses are all pretty defeatist, and definitely speculative.

I've been party to discussions like this, I know how it goes. Once you're shoved in a small room indefinitely, all of your possessions and shoes taken so you don't kill yourself, and had questions dumped on you, a lot of these cute actions people are suggesting are pretty ridiculous. A seriously stupid move would be to try something like erasing your data, or trying to mislead the offers would simple prolong the experience. You get that treatment even if you haven't done anything wrong, god knows what happens if you have.

Examples of how CBP has treated people attempting to re-enter the country is by no means "definitely speculative."
