One of the hottest issues in privacy is the policy of the Department of Homeland Security that allows for the seizure of laptops and other electronic devices from anyone entering the country - citizen or not. Needless to say, this policy has been justified by claiming national security and the war on terrorism. What is perhaps more amazing is that, despite the specific constitutional injunction against unreasonable search and seizure, this policy has been upheld by a US appellate court! These are seizures
without cause - any agent can seize any laptop or cell hpone for any reason, require passwords to be given, copy an file, or even take the unit and maybe send it back weeks or months later, with no explanation. This is outrageous. While there have been hearings the Summer eelated to this issue, nothing has been done to curb this. Is everybody asleep at the wheel?
