From the page: "The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol now takes the position that it can seize and copy the contents of a laptop or other computing device for a traveler entering the United States, based simply on its authority to do traditional border searches."

From the page: " My focus is different, drawing on my personal involvement in the encryption policy battles from a decade ago. My thesis is that laptop border searches bear a striking similarity to the federal encryption policy that was attempted during the 1990s but reversed in 1999. My testimony presents a brief history of these ā€oecrypto wars,” as they were called. "

Long and short is NO you dont get the Key! Fuck Off! Dont need to get into the States that badly, So Deport me. The DICKHEAD imac-man reviewer blathering on about fighting terrorism needs to get out more often.Maybe he is'nt allowed.

Perhaps you complainers haven't heard about the war the Islamic fundamentalists have declared against us? Sweeping powers to search at the border have always existed; it's all hype that this is radically new. Of course you never have helpful suggestions on how to fight terrorism; but hamstring, denigrate and cripple military, intelligence, security and police groups who protect us, you're expert at that! (hey vulgar-mouth, I guess that means you won't be coming, what a loss!)

I think that the TSA is an agency out of control, they say that they make these "rules" for our protection. I think that they are full of BS.
