Either way, you lose the data. That's probably a bad thing.
The Fourth Amendment "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Why the fuck are you carrying medical records with you? Shouldn't they be with your wife? At home? LOCKED AWAY?
If my doctor was carrying my personal details around when travelling with his laptop, i'd have him fired. Those kind of records should be at the place of work, and stored off-site for archiving / backup. Carrying them on a trip is borderline negligence.
Sweet Jesus on a flying carpet, "non-citizens have basically no rights and if they want in they have to do what we tell them"?!
How's your sister / wife, Dwayne? Feel free to come past the 19th Century any time. You do realise Apartheid is over, and you can no longer buy slaves? Your Constitution protects PEOPLE, not citizens. THIS IS THE CRUX OF THE MATTER.
I have never seen a more ignorant response on/. in my life.
If you're trolling, I applaud you. You are extremely good at being a dick.
Any laptop if I go to the US (not that I will, but we'll forgo that point for this rant) would be vanilla xp with office, some non-personal documents, pictures of holidays etc and nothing else. Personal data would be encrypted on a seperate machine and emailed / stored online for retrieval at destination. I'd be sure to epoxy the screws in place, and at least 6 points of the casing so they couldn't slip a little piece of kit onto a spare USB header or whatever.
If it gets seized / inspected, it's left in its bag for the entire trip, taken home and wiped clean, then sold on eBay. I can buy another laptop without too much hassle.

"...seamless integration of heterogeneous quantum-key distribution-link devices in a unified framework."
My buzzword alarm just core dumped.
That treats the symptom and is not a cure.
So does medicine.

Just prey to GOD you're not in seat 32A, with a fatty in 32B and C.

Ouroboros!

Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica?
Great North Air Ambulance?
Gridless Narrow-Angle Astrometry? That doesn't even make sense.
Guilford Native American Association?
It was.
It's been widely admitted that DeepBlue was programmed after the coders having access to hundreds of stored games detailing Kasparov's playing style.
Kasparov was not allowed access to any simulation matches, despite there being clear precedent for this practice.
You should look along the banks at rush hour... You might spot a guy in a hi-viz jacket.
He's not a BT Engineer, and that's not a cable tester he's pointing at you.
What's the first law of secure computing?
"Physical access to a machine is root access to a machine."
All the rest is just a matter of determination and resources.

Did you spot it? No, neither did I.
FYI, I'm English.
Apart from that last statement, Insightful.
Hell, when I mail screenshots over the web I blank out the taskbar.
I love that you Americans have to pay road tax AND tolls.
The M6 Toll over here is almost totally empty every time i've been on it, because when we pay our road tax, we expect use of everyroad to be included.
100% of foreign businessmen are aliens.
Try confiscating Hans Demant's laptop and see if he doesn't get hold of some VERY good lawyers.

but even over 10 years, it's .16%. Quite a scary figure, actually
No it's not. Terrorism doesn't scare me.
Why do you suppose I might not let it affect my daily life?

I think (IANAPhysicist) that it can pulse faster due to the higher beam power.
Pulses can be shorter, and therefore more frequent, for the same amount of reflected light.
I wouldn't have thought so. The laser in an optical drive is enclosed and often disabled when the drive is ejected.
The laser pointers which fall into class IIIb (5-500mw) are all exposed and can be viewed directly.
