I'm not sure why you think this. The whole point of the discussion is limited fourth amendment protections at the border. If CBP can force you to unlock your phone/tablet/computer, then what's to stop them from forcing you to unlock your favorite password protected cloud or password manager program? After all, the juicy stuff they're looking for is more likely to be stored somewhere else, under lock and key, on your smartphone.
