Not much to do? Like say, NOT putting your cell phone on the desk? Saying NO, I don't consent to ANY searches? Turning OFF the phone (and being smart enough to have a security/SIM PIN Active)
There are plenty of things to do, and although I'm not stupid enough to keep incriminating text messages (or send them) I have a good deal of private stuff on it (SMS and Photo) and there's no way I'd voluntarily let some pig look through that without a search warrant. It's thankfully been 5 years since High School I can't see myself consenting to ANYONE looking through my phone, much less someone I can't trust like the cops.
I was born/raised in Poland til I was 8 when I moved to New York. Somehow, well over a decade went by and I still can't understand who keeps working to make something like racism such a hot button issue there. I thought we got past this when " nigga' " became a normal part of speech and 99% of "black" comedy focused on nothing else.
NOTE: this billboard wasn't put out in the States but rather in Europe, it's only creating controversy in the US. SONY is stupid but not _THAT_ stupid. The ad is provocative, it may be in bad taste but there is undeniably something there that pushes some primitive button inside. Wait, Advertisement.... Provocative? can't be!
We're talking about Europe (where I finally moved back to ~2.5 years ago), our Nivea commercials have more nudity than all your Super Bowls will ever hope to have. Grow up and get over it, slavery sucked, but America wasn't alone on that boat (hehe), the word slave originates from "slav" - my people. Sure, it took ya'll a bit longer to grow out of it but the US is really a young (225 y/o) country. Put this silliness behind you and get on some of those other issues you're behind on... say the death penalty or maybe that freedom thing I keep hearing about.
Really, one would only see this as Racism because of artificially generated guilt by American society. To rip off Kazanoe from digg yesterday:
"The game of Chess is racist too. White always moves first."
