The right to search laptop data will be limited under a new bill introduced to the US Senate today. Three Democratic senators introduced a bill to ensure that the existing rules for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are altered to protect data from random searches.“Most Americans would be shocked to learn that upon their return to the U.S. from traveling abroad, the government could demand the password to their laptop, hold it for as long as it wants, pore over their documents, emails, and photographs, and examine which websites they visited – all without any suggestion of wrong-doing,” Senator Russ Feingold said.

Yea I live in the USA and I am registered to vote and I do vote. Did I hurt your feelings because you are a Obama supporter? Or do you just get your feelings hurt easy? It will not make a difference democrat or republican. They all want to do the same thing over and over again. You will see your proof, we will still be at war and in debt from money made out of thin air and on and on. It has been a down fall for what about 90+ years, so what proof do you need? Politicians cannot fix things. It is impossible, and the likely hood of it to change will take the mind set of all America's to change. All I hear is change and believe but it will never change when corruption and greed run freely.

This.
people fail to realize that most of our current establishments (religion, government, money) are all old an outdated; but we continue to elect president and other officials to keep things the same. keep the status quo. there is more free renewable energy then we could ever use but because we are duped into believing we have a scarcity of resources people dont mind working the majority of their lives to pay debts to bankers who make money out of nothing. do a little research on the Fractional Reserve system and open your eyes.

Really tho, are they expecting someone to smuggle a terrorist on their hard drive?
Yeah doesn't work that way, it's any and all electronic devices they deem a risk. Once the agent makes up his or her mind that the device is a risk. They will take it.

Why's that make a difference? all they need is your hard drive or its platters and they can get what ever they want
Get a 2nd hard drive. Put everything on it except the confidential documents. Put them on a thumb drive. Take your "real" hard drive and overnight it to where you are going. When you get there, pop it in. When you go back home, overnight it back home and reverse the procedure. Expensive, pain in the butt, but the federal government HAS NO BUSINESS INSIDE MY LAPTOP WITHOUT A DAMN SEARCH WARRANT!

Um too bad customs will know what is in the box and possibly search it there? anything that leaves the country via shipping can be searched by customs
Yep, then they just keep your laptop until you either produce they key or it rots.

They can keep it,
it will take them a couple months to decrypt the whole thing, and some quite expensive equipment dedicated to the job.
I can spend another 250euro for a laptop. Can they invest their money on decrypting (for every laptop they have)?
If they demand to see inside, you just give them a password for the visible volume (containing just a few files to keep them happy).
If a country can be threatened by data on a harddrive, then it probably isn't worth protecting in the first place.
They have a right to search laptop data?
Get informed.
Get informed.
dude,
I think you mean stopped for American citizens.
That doesnt change anything for foreigners.
Plausible deniability.
Plausible deniability.
depends. having a hidden encrypted partition (tru crypt) would provide you that luxery. your system login password on the other hand could be subpoenaed by a judge and you either provide the password or go to jail for obstruction of justice.

not even a judge can make you reveal your passwords.
