I think you would be surprised how many "socially conservative, cowboy, John Wayne"
types actually share your distrust of governmental efforts to impose their own contrived
standards as a basis for police action. Particularly in the case of governments/administrations that feel their cause/agenda should be allowed to override
basic civil liberties. Those of us with more Libertarian views, should have been most at
home with the liberals, (given their rhetoric) but it is obviously not the case in the real
world.
As to your dilemma, most ereaders come with removable media, SD or Mini-SD cards as
a rule. But the reality of world travel is that you must be prepared to meet the prevailing
conditions, as they exist in the counties you visit. I wouldn't advise traveling from Texas
to California, with a basket of grapefruit. You could probably slip a mini-SD card with a
copy of "Democracy in America" by Alexis de Tocqueville past the California border guards
easier than a couple of Texas Ruby Reds.
