Personally my laptop is fully encrypted and inside the laptop there is yet another layer of encryption.......
In about 50 border crossings noone has asked a thing about it.....I would imagine they would have to suspect something in order to do so (and this probably would be after you are sent to secondary inspection)
The Canadians however do bother me a hell of a lot more as they want you to boot your computer and they actively stare at your 'my pictures' folder in search of child pornography.........can we be any more
i havent yet travelled out of the country, but im about to. my laptop is encrypted with like gutmann or something like that, but ive heard they can "force" you to give them the password/keyfile and some people have even had their laptops taken and not returned apparently (this was before the post article). theres no child porn on there, but its a company laptop so i just want to know my rights before-nothing will probably happen, but if something does, i want to know what to do. since i didnt do any of the actual encrypting, i don't know exactly how it works and whether or not the gov't can crack it. when i asked our IT guy he had never heard of this, but he said it would be difficult for the gov't to crack it and would probably take months if they really wanted to.
