Laptops may be detained at border – Washington Post- msnbc.com
WASHINGTON – Federal agents may take a traveler’s laptop or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed.

Also, officials may share copies of the laptop’s contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16 and issued by two DHS agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

This is so hugely against the Constitution it’s unreal.  the bad part is?  Most folks who are subjected to this won’t say a word.  Come on folks..stand up for the Constitution and by extension your rights.
