US customs: Yes, we can seize your laptop, iPod
,----[ Quote ]
| The Department of Homeland Security has outlined what we've all known for
| some time - that border agents are allowed to snoop through files on your
| computer, mobile phone or any other digital device.
|
| Officials can keep documents or computers, take them to an off-site location,
| copy the contents and share the data with other agencies.

When almost 1 in 2 machines is a Windows zombie, 'of course' there's no reason
to worry. Off-site inspection can also be done in Vietnam, Brazil, China...
wherever the crackers pass it along.
It must be part of the "War on laptops". Must be careful... it could lead to
dancing.

|
| But also on Friday, the MPAA filed its own brief, one which basically says it
| feels evidence isn't necessary in the case of one of its copyright
| infringement trials.
