A friend of mine returning from job fares in Europe had his flash drive inspected. All they found was a copy of his resume and medical records. They even questioned why he was carrying his medical records, as if this should be cause for suspicion. They didn't ask if the could inspect the flash drive, they just told him they were doing it. Being young and naive he let this go on. I gave him a real tongue lashing about standing up for his rights. It's none of their business what he had on the flash drive.

Never let anyone go through your computer or memory storage without a warrant!
