I would like to take my Galaxy Note smart phone for maps, calling, email, research, etc. but am nervous that it could be confiscated if some border agent is having bad day. Not worried about the ebook reader as they are inexpensive and easily replaced.

I understand seizing them when there is reasonable suspicion makes sense. But "suspicionless" seizing sounds like fishing expeditions and an abuse of power.

It is hard to attract tourists when there is this kind of draconian rules in place.
I am similar with the net-book, and I don't like to fly near the Southern border because of the drug cops. They are very antsy about aircraft down there.

I probably misunderstand this, but this reads as if they are saying "Our officers can't be bothered to actually think up a reason to search a device when they feel like browsing through the files of a random stranger who has done nothing to atttract interest, apart from having an electronic device."

They now(?) have the right to search an electronic device just for the hell of it? Seriously?
I'd think they had at least come up with a reason, like "this guy walks funny" or something?
