Canadian customs has in the past and does confiscate laptops that they believe contain illegal or incriminating evidence. I have had my personal computer searched returning to Canada more than once and I pass through the "Quick" lane when returning. I don't know the laws in the US, but Canadian Customs and Immigration have sweeping powers of arrest and have always had them. Canadian Customs makes the US guys look like crossing guards when it comes to the right afforded them.
Stitchawl : If I remember right, but could be misremembering, isn't Texas the only State that allows a loaded firearm in a vehicle and open alcohol as long as the driver isn't drinking?
It sounds so stupid when I type it out, it can't be right.
