There are stories of people not getting their laptops back for weeks or months. Don't know if they are true or urban legends. That's not a "taking" in the legal sense but still a worry.
My concern is the arbitrary nature and the lack of any recourse. Sort of how at some
airports the TSA agents decided to have some fun with travelers.
