Really ? Absolute madness... So not only there's no basic right to privacy, but you also lose your right to private property, even without any accusation ?

Madness, madness I tell you !

But the use of scans through some sort of recognition software raises more questions than it answers... I'm guessing it works with terms and not image recognition, as I'm having a hard time believing such technology exists at that level. Not even the actual security officials can recognize lolicon from echii/hentai, yet the software can ? Or does anything manga gets labeled as "ilegal" ?

Anyway, I guess I shouldn't care too much as I don't even have a laptop... or travel outside my country...  

They no longer need probable cause to search you anymore. The the hdd scanner doesn't have to be accurate. It just needed to raise a flag that something in your computer may be illegal and they can just keep your laptop for further investigation. Legallity is really at the mercy of whoever "judging" you. Pretty easy to screw your life up.
