  23. Re:Just like airline searches and wire taps on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 1
    That's pretty much my point.

    If the US gov't has authority to make (create?) these interim areas to skirt around our domestic laws, on what authority can these government agents operate? That's not rhetorical; I really don't know.

  24. Re:Just like airline searches and wire taps on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 1

    If you're not doing anything wrong I don't see the problem

    That is not the issue. I think what upsets Americans most about these sort of new laws (patriot act anyone? no thanks) is that they are borderline treasonous when compared to our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

    In this case, making parts of airports and border checkpoints not part of the USA is just plain underhanded & deplorable.
