Homeland Security Can Steal Your Laptop
I ran across this today via slashdot. Apparently the Department of Homeland Security can now take your laptop (or other digital devices) from you indefinitely, without even suspicion of wrongdoing. Yet another drop in the bucket. It's so much fun watching the USA slowly but steadily turn into a police state.
This is my favorite bit from the article:
DHS officials said that the newly disclosed policies -- which apply to anyone entering the country, including U.S. citizens -- are reasonable and necessary to prevent terrorism.
Ah, good ol' terrorism. I love how it's become a catch-all excuse to do anything.
