That seems to be their big thing. So if you aren't wandering around looking confused and disheveled like Al Gore two months after the 2000 elections, you'll probably be OK.

Now because I'm a total jerk (according to several ex-girlfriends), I have files on my dektop with filenames like 'Location of Jimmy Hoffa's corpse", "What D. B. Cooper and I did with the cash" and "Stuff Ted Kazynski told me" so that one day, some poor U.S. Customs gork can feel like they made the find of their career...for a few minutes.
