Attention all Travelers to the US - You are a criminal, of course

U.S. FEDERAL COURT DECISION SUPPORTS TRAVELLER LAPTOP SEIZURES
Alexandria, Va. -- The Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE)
has issued a warning to its members worldwide - and to all business
travelers - to limit proprietary information on laptop computers when
crossing U.S. borders, and to eliminate any personal data, including
photographs, finances and email that you do not want examined by Border
Protection authorities. The warning follows a decision by a federal
appeals court on 21 April 2008 giving customs officials the unfettered
authority to examine, copy, and seize travelers' laptops - without
reasonable suspicion.

Such is one inevitable consequence of the state of fear we have allowed to fester here. Shameful...truly shameful.
