Nope ... and, since the most pornagraphic thing they will ever find on my Kindle, laptop, or any other digital device is someting along the lines of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" ... I'm not going to work myself into a lather because they caught some jerk pedophile.
I mean ... some of the articles I have read really make it sound as if they are just confiscating people's digital devices willy nilly at the border. That's not the case.
