xepherys, you've expressed exactly what I feel.
I have been trying to formulate a reasons why searching for contraband at Customs is OK but not computers. And I can't have it either way- at least not with any convincing arguments. The only thing I believe is that physical contraband poses a clear physical harm, if I restrict contraband to drugs, alcohol, weapons, Ivory and fur products (profiteering from animal cruelty), foreign plants and animals (can disrupt foreign ecosystems), ...
It is not convincing, like I said. So either contraband shouldn't be searched for, or I need a more convincing argument. Something other than, "It isn't real, man!" and, "It makes me mad!"
I want my personal information to remain exactly that- personal. Having to decrypt my stuff or give Customs my passwords defeats that purpose.
