| DHS can take your laptop for "reasonable" time... ... if you're traveling across the border. Quote:

So they can take my laptop for no reason, detain it for months, and go through all my personal and medical information for no reason in the name of National Security. ![]() Great policy. ![]() GO BUSH! | ||

| So you have a problem with National Security? Are you hiding something? The chances of them taking YOUR laptop are slim to none, unless you are simply being stupid about it.

The point is they can take your property, without suspicion of wrong doing, and hold it as long as they like. | |

How is it any different then them checking your luggage? Unless they find something on a scan they aren't going to hold it.

| I love how you righties always pull this card. Everything's about "National Security." Bush could tell you to jump off a bridge for National Security, and some of you righties would probably do it. ![]() Yep - I don't want them to find out I hacked GT Legends to unlock everything. ![]() Quote:

You're still missing the point. They can take your property WITHOUT suspicion of wrong doing indefinitely if they choose. It's very different than them taking your luggage. Your luggage is screened by xray/etc AND THEN hand searched if there is any reason to do so. A laptop IS NOT pre-screened. | |

How about this, you run for office and "protect" our borders. Just what would you change about this? Maybe we should just let anything go, I mean really what are we protecting anyways?
