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."

    Well, I hope the guards are really desensitized because once they search my laptop they will most likely vomit.

    Who knows, but if you thought the lines were long now... On most geek laptops, this could take a while.

    With the new filter, they need to get their porn somehow. This was the best option.
