Call the State Attorney General, then call the US Senators (John Kerry and Ted Kennedy), then the Governor's office. Explain what has been done and the reaction received.
I bet the Attorney General will do something about it.

I have zero problems with securing our borders.
And I do have a problem with the anarchists who want to test or protest the system by providing problems in the security lines at airports, slowing down my own travel more than necessary and making trouble for the people whose job it is to protect us.
I carry corporate source, designs and some customer data on my laptop. Yes, it would be a problem if it were made public. I encrypt it, but do not hide it. I see no reason that a border guard, a TSA guard or even the (whisper) NSA would choose to give it to a competitor if they had it.
What's the problem here? Is this a matter of principle or is there something to hide? Consider how important your data is to a customs official. News flash: I'd bet a lot that they don't give a rat's ass what you've got, as long as it's not illegal.
If it's illegal, then the problem is totally different and you have no right to complain about it.
Sure, somebody will say "but they could be bribed by a competitor to take YOUR data". Ok, solve that problem by flipping a coin to decide which line you wish to enter thru. The world does not revolve around you and most people just don't care.

But of course only WE were created in His image, right?
