Looks like Obama's campaign promise to better balance civil liberties with homeland security didn't last long

Good to see that all the violent crime in the USA has been ended so they can now focus their resouces to look for dirty pics & unlicensed media on our notebooks

Same news item, different spin:

 

 

The US government has outlined new guidelines on how computers and other electronic equipment will be searched when they reach the country's border.

Barack Obama's administration has tried to address concerns about violating privacy and constitutional rights by creating new rules on how computers and other electronic devices will be searched when people enter the US.

I've made three trips to Southeast Asia in the last year, under both administrations. I've been taken aside by customs 2 out of 3 times. Almost missed my connecting flight one of those times. It's fucking gay. I don't even bring a laptop with me because of this and I certainly don't buy any media/DVDs either.

 

I can't stand it. I wish America wasn't so focused on being Politically Correct and focused more on basic CRIMINAL PROFILING. They are trying to prevent and solve crimes, then they should fucking do crime fighting 101.
