Laptops Can Be Searched At the Border
Nothing to Declare notes that a California appeals court has unanimously upheld a ruling that border security officers at international airports can search personal computers without requiring any specific evidence of criminal activity. The appeal was made by US resident Michael Timothy Arnold, charged with child pornography offenses after an airport search of his notebook PC in 2005. Might want to think hard about what's on your laptop if you're going to be passing through a US international airport.
"...secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" --Where have I read that before? Oh right NOW I rememeber! It was on that new Bill of Rights Toilet Paper(TM) with all ten printed on each sheet. I hear they are all the rage these days among jack boots and Congress-critters..

GWB phased out the fourth amendment long ago with a double secret executive order! DUH! Stay with the times, man! ;)
You do realize that ROT26 would loop completely around the alphabet (assuming you're using the same one you used to write that post) and your ciphertext would happen to be the same as your plaintext, don't you?
P.S. Not that there's anything wrong with personally believing in the Word of God, but preaching as a head of state in what is supposed to be a secular government with a clear separtion of church and state is wrong.
