In order to protect us the Department of Homeland Security has decided that they can take your laptop, cell phone or any digital device and hold it for as long as they want while they make the information on the device available to anyone they wish. They can even take your copy of The Wall Street Journal or the book you just bought to read on the plane. It doesn't matter whether you look and act totally innocent. If some border guard wants to harass you because you have green eyes, he can.
Do we still live in the United States of America?

With body cavity searches - you know thumb drives would be easy to hide.
Governments around the world are moving in this direction. The freedom our fathers fought for is being stripped away before our eyes. How can digital data on a drive be defined, 'contraband'. It can be placed on a website anywhere and downloaded anywhere. The only winner from all this is Osama bin Laden.
