Can border patrol really inspect your belongings when crossing from Canada or Mexico?

Seems like a violation of my privacy. I was annoyed by just the TSA at the airport.

Yes they can, you're entering the United States from a foreign country and there are restrictions on certain things that you're allowed to bring into the country.
Border guards have the authority to search you, your vehicle and your luggage.

If they're really serious they can search your electronics, laptops, computers even cell phones
