guardian.co.uk — Last month a US court ruled that border agents can search your laptop, or any other electronic device, when you're entering the country. They can take your computer and download its entire contents, or keep it for several days. So how do you protect yourself? By hiding your data.

Well, seeing as how i'm not american, i have no rights as a citizen. But that wasn't my argument. I think it's absolute bulls**t that they're looking at laptops and taking data that could be confidential etc. It's a total abuse of power. My point was they do what they want to do under the guise of security and I was simply stating how they try to justify it. Of course, it won't do s**t but piss off travelers.

My buddy here in Canada tried to take a flight to the US... they found porn on his laptop and took it (his laptop) from him... He didn't get on the flight and I think he lost the laptop.
