Most folks don't realize that customs of most countries, including the U.S., can and does on occasion search/confiscate people's belongings for pictures and other materials that are potentially obscene.

With that said, one should only keep the minimal amount of data and passwords (don't save usernames/passwords on the laptop - enter them manually every time.), etc needed to conduct business. Keep the rest stored remote and be prepared to lose the laptop and related gear - shit happens!

One should have extra funds readily available (and/or know how to find an internet cafe - caution: many are very unsecure!) for obtaining a new laptop fast and have a procedure for getting back up and running - pretty easy actually if one keeps their critical stuff stored remotely.
