Australia Air Travelers' Laptops To Be Searched For Porn

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the all-real-problems-solved dept.

bluetoad writes "Australian customs officers have been given the power to search incoming travelers' laptops and mobile phones for porn. Passengers must declare whether they are carrying pornography on their Incoming Passenger Card. The Australian government is also planning to implement an Internet filter. Once these powers are in places, who knows how they will be used."

    Always remember that all this fascist measures is for our own good. Politicians are intelligent people that know better than us and, if you disagree, you are probably a criminal.

    So next time I go to Australia, I'll set my background picture to the goatse dude and when quizzed about porn I'll be happy to turn on my laptop for the immigration officer. Preferably when large groups of minor travellers and christian bible students are congregating around the security point. Once they have collectively fainted, I'll smile at the officer and mention, that these kind of pictures are, of course, vital study-material for my Urology-degree and can I go now?!
