   Hello Mike!

   Both sides reserve the legal right to search devices, but the     
   US one (CBP) is the one that is doing more of them and even     
   going as far as copying contents.

   I dunno..  maybe you could just stash the extra images     
   (assuming SD media cards) in your wallet.  But having them     
   search a laptop or tablet is going to far imho.   
      
   I suppose one could upload an disk image of a laptop to the     
   cloud, and install a basic linux distro in its place.  Then,     
   once clear of customs, simply reinstall the saved disk image?   
      
   Dunno what one can do with a tablet.

   Yes..  Txxxx has a problem with other people expressing "free     
   speech" and opinions about him, and even jokes (a la the     
   Colbert incident).
