2) Don't bring your laptop.

3) Don't go to the USA

Simple.
I'll explain his answer for him.

1) Anyone who truly has nefarious stuff to hide (terrorist plans, cp, whatever) will send it heavily encrypted over the internet.

2) Things that will turn up are trade secrets, personal files (pictures of your naked wife, your diary, etc) and other things that the government has no business looking into.

Giving up a fair amount of privacy for zero extra security. Yeah, awesome idea.
