In any case the OP might want to consider resting his eyes as well. Not only for health reasons but it sounds like CBP noticed and it's what started this whole conversation.
Well, all the officer actually DID was to give the OP information that was not previously known by the OP; the OP thought the opposite was true. My opinion is that it isn't hard to cross the border with a clean computer or device. There's always the possibility that your device can get looked at when you cross a border, so I think it's not a bad idea. I've had NEXUS for many years now and had the car searched once going northbound (random search). We were clean, so once they finished they sent us on our way.
