Honestly everyone jumping at big bother watching is kinda silly. Though it is silly to expect everyone to open their laptops and be searched. But another point that I failed to mention in my first post he was selected at random. How many other people went through? How many of those had illegal drugs? p0rn? Stolen goods? so they caught one guy out of how many?
Well to be honest what is there to fear so far all you have done in your "discussion" is call me an idiot so I guess we were in the same educated class for debates.
You are correct my way or the highway there has to be a set of laws. Now my question to you am I for or against this ? I doubt if you read my entire post.
Oh and I do believe I have as much of a right as you to post to tell me to shut the fuck up just shows that you are the one who really needs an education in debate.
Second it is done by the 9th court of appeals the most over turned court in the land.
Third they are stretching the powers of searching they reference a search done in a van where items were in plain view. This required the powering up of a laptop and then looking around a bit of a stretch. Also the agent did not ask to search the laptop thus not having rights to start searching through something not in plain view.
Fourth , but no where near least, the guy is implicated in having kiddie p0rn. Hello! If you are not breaking the law the you really have nothing to fear.
Five at all times during a warrant less search you always.. always! have the right to stop the search. Ya it might mean you will be detained a little bit more but if you have done nothing illegal then it is something to have a little hassle to stand up for your rights. Besides at that point if they really really wanted to get in there they are not under the several of the search clauses and will need to get a warrant to proceed. I don't care what everyone says blah blah blah if you are not breaking the law they you don't have anything to hide period. If you bow up on them they will only suspect you have something to hide, common sense.
So stop with the America bashing if you don't like America leave! If you are not in America and hate it Stay out! Simple as that.. too many people just wanna bash cause they can.
While this may be a bit harsh I feel it pretty well sums it up. A lot of talk has been this or that but each company is different. If you work for company A they may have a lot of potential securty risks (banks,goverment job, Starfleet) or with company B the only risk my be trade secrets (food,beverage,building) or even company C that the only risk is you using their ISP system to go look up stuff on/.
You were very professional in giving two weeks notice if the company decides to end the employeement on the spot that is up to them. If they decide they will need you for those two weeks then that is up to them as well. I feel as long as you feel that you have done the right , professional thing they be happy you are getting two weeks paid to get ready for the next job.
