This insures that you haven't hidden any top secret documents under the clothing in the pictures.
Actually they're more worried about child porn than any secret documents that might kill us all. And that includes hand drawn. I have a picture of a can of Mt Dew getting it on with a bologna sandwich that under the current laws would get me tossed in prison for having child porn. I mean, that sandwich is maybe 5 minutes old.




Don't even ask.

Don't know or care what they're worried about. I don't want a thief to have the satisfaction of using my laptop as is.

The feds fall into that category if they sieze it. I love that there is something they can't smash into when they darn well feel like it.

If they want it, I just tell them it's useless anyway.. there's a darn password screen at bootup I can't seem to get past. Needs a new hard drive.

They take the hdd out to analyze it. Then they've got you for lying to a federal officer and obstructing an investigation.

I'd appreciate it immensely if they can get it unlocked for me. Right now it's a hunk of junk.

New DHS laptop search policy

New DHS laptop search policy #### sandwich, fancier bread
Quote:
Although the US has extensive legal protections for personal property and information, these only apply once you're actually inside the country. As part of its role in protecting the nation's borders, the US government has extensive leeway to search personal possessions with little in the way of what might be considered just cause. As personal possessions have gone digital, the Department of Homeland Security has targeted the devices and their data, and courts have ruled that agents have the right to seize laptops and examine the data on them.

The ability to arbitrarily seize personal electronic devices, from laptops to iPods, has concerned everyone from the Electronic Frontier Foundation to a business travelers trade group, and prompted the introduction of a bill in Congress that would call on the DHS to clarify its rules. On Thursday, the DHS did precisely that, providing a set of standards for the handling of personal electronics and data. The new rules are unlikely to end the controversy, however, as they continue to leave major decisions up to the discretion of DHS employees.

The primary document starts out by recognizing that although Customs and Immigration authorities have had the ability to hold personal property for years, the public is justified in thinking that seizures of electronics are a distinct issue. "Where someone may not feel that the inspection of a briefcase would raise significant privacy concerns because the volume of information to be searched is not great," the report notes, "that same person may feel that a search of their laptop increases the possibility of privacy risks due to the vast amount of information potentially available on electronic devices."
