      I had a complete search entering LAX a while ago. Full laptop, email and HD search. It was a royal pain in the ass.

        They gave up going after the criminals because they can afford legal advice, so instead they just go after everyone now, and go through everything without any reason.

                The policy changes are about file-sharing, illegal copies, and enforcing copyright laws.

                Searches at border crossings are already happening.

                This is P2P propaganda to raise public fears in my opinion.

                      If they find encrypted partitions or data, they are allowed to take a full copy of your Disk. I dont think you want that.

                            This is a complete invasion of privacy. There must be a reason to search anything, and possibly a warrant. They can't just go scanning every ones hard drives and copying everything - impossible and against your constitutional rights.

                              Oh I am sure that this would be challenged, but holy shit, thats just crazy that the powers that be would even think about this. I am disappointed. It is under the guise of filesharing protection, but it is just stupid. I am sure hacked applications, any non politically correct letters, email, and of course, porn will be dissected thoroughly. And I doubt I will see this on the CBS Evening News this evening ...Fucking U.S. media.

                                    You don't like this either? You don't want him to protect your Copyrighted material?

                                    The current laws aren't working, so just wondering when you do or don't want him to do something about it.

                                    Aye, Bush man, he truly went nuts didn't he? Making it so it was legal to search computers, hold you forever, all that crazy crap. Crazy how many years this has been going on, at least 8 or so now right?


                                    I say down with Obama on this! Clearly our Industry 'supports' stolen material, clearly we should fight this to make a point that stealing is perfectly fine with the adult industry!

                                          Not to say that would be fair, to include this industry Doc, I wholeheartedly agree on that point. But the christian right would shit they're pants if they saw that the government was (gasp), also protecting the rights of pornographers all around the world. Fallout like this would end more than one politicians career, if they publicly supported us.

                                            I love how everybody thinks that big brother even cares about them.

                                            It's like walking around wondering what people think about you. Nobody is thinking about you because they are walking around wondering the same thing.

                                            Guess what? Most of us are insignificant. Nobody cares about us.

                                                I also love how it says "Obama passing new law..."

                                                Obama does not pass laws. That is the job of Congress. They pass them and Obama either signs of vetoes them. If he vetoes them, Congress can still get the law past him.

                                                Obama can introduce bills to Congress, but he can't pass them. Neither can his VP, who essentially oversees the Senate.

                                                Signing statements are a beast of their own, but they don't even come into play unless Congress passes something in the first place.

                                                    If anyone here thinks this is an issue of copyrighted material, boy have I got some swamp land in Florida to sell you. This has a lot more to do with tracking, tracing and surveilling. It's a trojan horse that is being used to put another piece in place for the implementation of a total police state.

I, on the other hand, voted for the man. This is not an indirect "slam" against him by any means. The point of this thread is the "bigger picture" and the possibility, not assuming fact, but the possibility of the huge ramifications if something like this were to go through. It is always better to be aware than ignorant. The fact that some people here who have read this thread, can now deduce and make their own opinions now... I have done my job. I also posted this on one of my mainstream blogs as well, so even more people can make opinions... Fact of the matter is that U.S. media does not report everything that it probably should. Chiding me for posting something that has the potential to affect this industry, especially since the large majority of users of this board are "e-based" seems a bit ridiculous. I did not mean to be an asshole, but next time, come at me in a different way, if you have an issue. Responding, calling me names in your first response, is in itself, adolescent imho.

                                                                      Between things like this, the Patriot Act, and TARP (funnellig your money into big business hands) its amazing there aren't riots in the steets...

                                                                      But nobody seems to care or want to stand up and fight for anything except oil in Iraq. hm.

                                                                                          If it's bullshit why riot? I'm not going to riot because some guy in tin foil hat is paranoid. When a republican is in office the left wing nuts think the government is trying to spy on them and take away their freedoms. When a democrat is on office the right wing nuts think the government is trying to spy on them and take away their freedoms. Funny how that works.

                                                                                                  1- How can they tell that MP3 file in my Laptop or Ipod/Iphone was downloaded on a torrent or simply copied form a CD I have back home?

                                                                                                  2- How can they tell that the Microsoft Office Suite I have in my laptop is a legit one or not?

                                                                                                  3- How can they tell if the Movie I have in my laptop have been illigally Downloaded or simply copied from a DVD I have back home. (At the begining of movies in French Version of Interpol disclaimer, it says something like : ".... Copy for the private use is allowed ..."

                                                                                                  That being said, they scanned my MacBook at Quebec Airport when I got back from Xbiz Vegas last year, they were looking for C-P ... Found nothing beside some galleries I was doing for Penthouse because their "search Software" is not working on Macs, gave them a business card and told them that was a good thing actually... Guys were asking me for sites URL.. lol


                                                                                                  So yes I think that in the future, if you carry a a laptop with you thru Security Check, they will do some "random" searches from time to time... Fantastic when you have short layovers..
