Traveling to the US was a PITA even prior to 9/11 and it clearly went from bad to worse. I do not travel privately to the US anymore, as I don't see why I should spend my money somewhere where I am being welcomed as if I were a criminal. That's a pity as I always enjoyed traveling in the US. Americans should be subjected to the same kind of treatment whenever they want to enter the Schengen Area - and that courtesy should be extended to US soldiers.
Obviously no one in his right mind will cross the border to the US (or to most other countries) with a notebook or any other device that contains confidential business data, as there is the realistic chance that this data will be seized and even be used for the purpose of industrial espionage.
