Thanks guys, I'm just glad you agree.

@Mr Khan

Yeah, I also wonder how far do they go. If you have a password-protected file and they want to see it, can they force you to open it ? Do they even look for hidden files or they just look around the desktop and other common folders ? What about your internet browser's history ? (which we should delete regularly anyway...)

All this aside, you could always get a dvd or an external hard drive and just save your files there before traveling. I wouldn't take the risk, if possible. And you certainly can't predict what they would see as "child pornography", so I wouldn't recommend having Queen's Blade in there or any other "risqué" anime. I seriously doubt they would care about any pirated content though, unless maybe an obvious case of a mainstream movie, which I don't know how they could prove to be pirated anyway.

I'm surprised they can go through your laptop without any sort of accusation to begin with...

AFAIK, they can already confiscate your laptop even if you encrypt your hdd. They just hold it as long as they want, LOL.

And, there's a tool, a usb key, that autoscan your computer for "illegal contents" by simply plugging in the usb.
