Customs can now search your laptop (not only the physical parts)

 God I hate that line. It's just so ignorant. 1) Everyone has something to hide. 2) Governments should not have power over the peopler, people should have power over their governments. When Jews were forced to wear yellow stars on their coats no doubt people said they shouldn't mind if they've got nothing to hide, then they were promptly carted off to death camps. Governments kill far more people and are a far greater danger to our liberty than any terrorist could ever be. If you're willing to give away your liberty so easily just make sure you're ready for the day when it comes back to bite you.

 

 Hence my use of "really". Yes everyone has something to hide but you should only be worried about having your laptop searched if you have child porn, bomb making sites, "how to smuggle" documents, etc on it.
