In Case You Didn’t Know, Its Legal for US Customs To Make A Copy of Your Laptop/Cell Phone

Based on a recent ruling, US Customs has the right, without having to give a reason, to search and make a physical COPY of your laptop/cell phone and retain that copy.  However it doesn’t state that you are actually required to give them the password to your computer.  This stemmed from a recent case where child pr0n was found on some dude’s laptop on a recent search and he could not be convicted.  Those guys are always ruining things!
