Protect Your Data At All Times
Friday, May 16th, 2008Thanks to both Chris Penn and C.C. Chapman for pointing this article by Bruce Schneier out:
Last month a US court ruled that border agents can search your laptop, or any other electronic device, when you’re entering the country. They can take your computer and download its entire contents, or keep it for several days.
I won’t set foot down the “we’re becoming a police state” path, I just want to focus on what this means for traveling musicians and businessfolk. So, to quote the legendary Dick Clark:
Protect your ass at all times.
