TSA USB SNAFU

The TSA's experimenting with some next level Big Brother shit involving your laptop and a complete lack of discretion

The next time you leave the country, make sure to take all the child pornography off your laptop because the TSA now operates above the law. The ACLU recently revealed that international travelers are having their laptops seized and searched. And laptops are only the tip of the digital iceberg: agents are searching thumb drives, DVDs, and cellphones, downloading 282 files from 1,500 devices for examination by third parties. Best of all? Current policy requires border agents neither to justify nor report their searches. With this flawless system in place, it should come as no surprise that only 4 of those 282 files were considered national security concerns.
