Nothing to Declare writes "If your notebook is filled with porn, P2P or even just too many iTunes downloads, you might want to think twice before taking it on your next holiday — especially to the US. An appeals court in California this week unanimously upheld a ruling that border security officers at international airports can search personal computers without requiring any specific evidence of criminal activity. The appeal was made by a US resident, Michael Timothy Arnold, charged with child pornography offences after an airport search of his notebook PC in 2005."
