- Fantonel, on 01/08/2008, -2/+202They'll have to go through a lot of porn.
- ifnotme, on 01/08/2008, -2/+172It is not about porn, it is about whether our government should be able to search and collect the email, health records and private writings of its citizens because they travel abroad.
- slowmo, on 01/08/2008, -0/+103Not to mention saved passwords, bank account, credit card numbers, you name it. If that's available to them you know it's just a matter of time before some gets royally screwed... without lube.
- dberansky, on 01/08/2008, -4/+96I don't get their analogy. Suitcases are searched for weapons or other contraband. What kind of contraband can be smuggled in on a hard disk?
- justintsmith, on 01/08/2008, -11/+93Hahaha America, you're *****.
- bralynn, on 01/08/2008, -1/+71"That's him you're honor! (pointing at me) That's the bastard who made me go to goatse.cx!"
- Frostman3D, on 01/08/2008, -2/+69This is really ***** up. This is searching through your personal files. You can't put a bomb in a file. WTF?
- SemiSarcastic, on 01/08/2008, -1/+65"what seems to be the problem officer?"
"It appears you have ties to the terrorist organization 'Sorority Sluts'." - j1ggy, on 01/08/2008, -4/+59Welcome to Fascism my friend. I would get out now while you still can.
- aztuscani, on 01/08/2008, -0/+54You could just encrypt your personal data.
- mthode, on 01/08/2008, -0/+50http://www.truecrypt.org/
- DeviantDragon, on 01/08/2008, -1/+51"Okay, okay, I'll talk guys! The information you want is at 2girls1cup.com. That's all I can say for now, please let me out of the airport!"
- cryptoki, on 02/01/2008, -8/+53so if you encrypt anything, your guilty until proven innocent. this takes the cake. the fourth and fifth amendments are dead. there is always a special case or circumstance. the govt always gets its way. Maybe we should talk to:
CALL IN 1-866-408-7669
You can hear Brian and Judge Napolitano EVERYWHERE! - sjbdallas, on 01/08/2008, -0/+40and they've already seen that since they track everything we do on the internet anyway.
- andrewcsayer, on 01/08/2008, -3/+42Just put all the data on a USB thumbdrive and jam that in your ass for the border crossing. But be careful - I near tore the 17 condoms filled with heroin that were already there
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -2/+38Child pornography IS NOT A SECURITY THREAT! ......Someone is pushing an agenda here if it's about child porn. Yes there are groups out there fighting it but it is not a security threat to this country and should NOT give anyone the right to search someone's hard drive.
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -0/+36And do they get to watch your dvd's, listen to your cd's, look through your PDA, your blackberry, do they get to go through index cards in your wallet? Letters in a shoebox in the trunk?
What do I have to hide? Everything! From anyone who is that damned eager to look through it. - novask, on 01/08/2008, -0/+35I have a solution to this. Create 10,000 files with unique names, all 2 girls 1 cup. Whats that? I scarred you for life? Well stay the ***** out of my hard drive!
- paradexes, on 01/08/2008, -0/+32Truecrypt http://www.truecrypt.org/. That will keep the data you want hidden and let them see the data you want. Simple and effective. Then of course they could torture you for the passwords and all that.
- noahhoward, on 01/08/2008, -2/+33That's the idea. TSA is a boring, thankless job.
- jcaino, on 01/08/2008, -1/+31they can't even keep track of their internal communications. hands off my stuff - now. just because you can't find yours doesn't mean i have it.
- iDiggIt42, on 01/08/2008, -0/+28"Asked whether he had child pornography on his laptop, Mr. Boucher said he was not sure. He said he downloaded a lot of pornography but deleted child pornography when he found it."
I have reason to believe he may be doing it wrong. - Weip, on 01/08/2008, -2/+29How do you encrypt your personal data?
- SuperCow1127, on 01/08/2008, -1/+28*****, mine's full of Constitutional and anti-corporate essays. I'm *****.
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -1/+27this is why all my machines have full disk encrpytion
- tgc1, on 01/08/2008, -0/+24I don't recall my password.
- Brianguy2000, on 01/08/2008, -4/+27All they'll find on mine is porn and digg in my favorites.
- reverland, on 01/08/2008, -0/+23Everyone should look into Truecrypt.org to encrypt their data. There was a federal judge recently ruled that you don't have to give the government your private key. If they find anything incriminating then you will be charged. It's the same as when a police officer asks if he can come into your home, you have the right to say no unless he has a warrant.
- ernasty10050, on 01/08/2008, -3/+25All they'll find on mine is child pornography and terrorist plans. I'm clean.
- jcaino, on 01/08/2008, -1/+23while i understand why you are being dugg down..still. you can fit a lot of stuff on a 4GB microSD card...and that card can fit into a lot of different places. sure...check my laptop...my nefarious plans are sitting on the card in my cell phone or digital camera. oh, but yea - it'll turn on and take pictures just fine.
so will that be next? we are no longer free and unless something gives, it is only going to get worse. - negativenancy, on 01/08/2008, -2/+23Also, don't forget the porn.
- mogdor, on 01/08/2008, -0/+20 "perfectly free to inspect the hard drive of every laptop"
Well if the government insists on snooping in my laptop it won't be for free, I'll definitely charge them for it. - inactive, on 01/08/2008, -0/+20rofl.. i think if i fly anywhere i'll set up 80gigs as encrypted file/partition.. they stop me and i won't provide crap (5th amendment is there for a reason)..
they take any drastic measures and when they finally get in it'll just be a text document with
"Rofl.. good job wasting your time."
or..
"Nothing to see here folks. Move along... - Officer Barbrady (South Park)" - CMiYC, on 01/08/2008, -0/+19I'm enabling FileVault now.
- Gzero, on 01/08/2008, -0/+19Searching hard drives is a bad idea. Anyone with something to hide will be able to hide it. Everyone else will have some random guy searching through their personal files. It does more harm than good.
"A couple of years ago, Michael T. Arnold landed at the Los Angeles International Airport after a 20-hour flight from the Philippines."
They should've searched before he entered airplane, not after. If he refuses the search, where does he go, back on the airplane? This time they caught something bad, but still. - inactive, on 01/08/2008, -1/+20This is just social control. The idea that this would protect anyone is ludicrous. "Terrorist plans" or whatever else that could be a threat could just as easily enter the country through the internet.
- TheIinLive, on 01/08/2008, -4/+22it's right outside your door, now TESTIFY!
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -9/+27This is why everyone should vote for Ron Paul........Ya you're going to digg me down for talking about him but jesus christ how many more idiots do we have to elect till we get one that respects ALL OF OUR RIGHTS! ........
This is exactly the reason i don't take my computer with me on vacation. - thebellmaster1x, on 01/08/2008, -0/+17Go go Gadget Fifth Amendment!
If they ask for your private key, you can go with the completely true "Constitutionally, I do not have to help you," or the more hilarious "Ooooooops, I forgot!" They can't prove if you know something. - Psygonn, on 01/08/2008, -2/+17To confuse noobs, take explorer.exe off msconfig boot list (I think its there but you might have to do it somewhere else) then start up your computer, tell them you have a virus that ***** the OS all up and when they give up hit CTRL-Alt_Del to bring up task manager and click Filenew task(Run...) and type in "explorer" to restore windows.
- ZxEfR, on 01/08/2008, -0/+15Yeah....TC is great I highly recommend it.....but when you hear that America's power scum elite have banned TC you had better get ready for extremely bad times ahead.
- eggo, on 01/08/2008, -0/+15Fourth Ammendment of th US Constitution:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. - iDiggIt42, on 01/08/2008, -0/+14Rick Roll alert for the slow. It's not funny anymore.
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 01/08/2008, -0/+14The perfect alibi.
- Norochj, on 01/08/2008, -0/+14Besides, I am positive that no real terrorist is dumb enough to have a file on their laptop called "Terrorist_plan.txt"
- j1ggy, on 01/08/2008, -3/+17What a sad and pathetic world we live in.
- tgc1, on 01/08/2008, -1/+14And those damn Rick Roll videos! Dammit.
- MacGyver2210, on 01/08/2008, -1/+14*sobbing* it's true...*sniff*...we are.....
- k0nz, on 01/08/2008, -1/+13There needs to be some sort of reasonable suspicion, or they may as well body cavity search every person in the airport!
- getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -2/+14tools > folder options > view > show hidden files and folders
