Senate Hearing On Laptop Seizures At US Border

suitablegirl writes "As we have discussed, Customs and Border Patrol is allowed to seize and download data from laptops or electronic devices of Americans returning from abroad. At a Senate hearing tomorrow, privacy advocates and industry groups will urge the lawmakers to take action to protect the data and privacy of Americans not guilty of anything besides wanting to go home."

    So please protect the data and privacy of us non-Americans as well.

    I've never heard of a U.S. (Note the proper syntax) non-American. I suppose that is the new term to describe Democrats. Well,as South Park proclaimed, if you don't like America, you can git out.
