I really don't know...
What exactly is this law going to do? Is it a law? Details are suspiciously sketchy. either way, I don't think the American (or any other nation, for that matter) people wold tolerate something like this. It'll probably die right here.

also: two clicks from the youtube video, I found this
I actually didn't watch the video, will do tomorrow.
EDIT: the comments are filled with paranoid conservatives. More lol for me!

"OneWorldScam.com" is not a reliable source and there is nothing on any other news source I can find about this.

[TheBigPK]

Don't they already do that at borders randomly? Just encrypt the hell out of your important bits, eh. All of the crazy conspiracy noobs haha, this won't happen to any huge extent.

[Peet]

Yeah a friend of mine crossing the US-Canada border had his laptop searched.

[rattle]

I bet they were highly interested in all the goat porn they found.
"Aha. Zis is ein arab!! ARREST HIM!"

[smoth]

well the patriot act back when I read it already says if you are an arab dude they can outright take your shit. If the pres okays it he can personaly take your shit etc.

[rattle]

Till he gets busted by the customs as arab president look-alike

Actually I just realized...

Fourth Amendment!
Pwnt.

[==Troy==]

read exceptions, PC searchers are permitted.

For all of the paranoidal geeks out there, truecrypt is the option, or even make it easier, just take out your hard drive from the laptop and put it into you pocket, the amount of metal in the harddrive will not trigger the metal detectors.

Or if you are completely paranoid, get 2-3 micro-SD flashes, its impossible to find them.

It's legal if the MP3 sniffing dog triggers on you.

[aegis]

boot it up to a different operating system with your main drive hidden, by default?

also, all of my computers are work computers and contain sensitive company documents.

[Spawn_Retard]

Didn't they release a law that they could search your house and everything in it if they thought you were a terrorist after 9/11.

Like zomg he has a suspicious bag and is Muslim, he must be a terrorist

[Forboding Angel]

bush opened the door, and obama is ripping said door off of it's hinges.

But like midknight said, 4th ammendment=pwned

[Jazcash]

They touch my PC I kill them. Stab Stab.

[MidKnight]

No matter how many laws they pass, nothing short of an amendment to the Constitution will allow them to look at my comp without a warrant!

[insaneinside]

It's not really about whether they can (or can't) do something because the law says so. It's about having that law available to point out, after they do it.

Pass enough laws, and, well...

[MidKnight]

...and this is why Civics is taught in school.

Someone needs to develop brain storage so we can remember this stuff when we need to, rather than having to truecrypt everything .

[smoth]

civics covers law like saying boobies covers human sexuality.

what if they do find "illeagal content" do they keep you're mp3 player/laptop or just delete it? this fails almost as much as internet censorship in australia when they finaly get it up and running.
