I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but there is a very easy solution to this.
If you have a laptop, notebooks, digital info, papers, anything you want kept private (or not arbitrarily seized for no reason), you simply have to slide it into an envelope addressed to you, with enough international postage - and SEAL it.

Customs has not been given the right to open private mail (unless on your person) without a search warrant.

*I had to clarify, I assumed people understood that you have to actually mail it to your destination*
