I'm a little amazed at the lengths you will go to to discredit an author and an article which you have not read, I was merely suggesting it as interesting reading material relevant to the discussion, not as an authoritative source, and I certainly did not quote from it. I think I mentioned that several times. This law stuff must be really competitive, huh?

I said nothing to "discredit" the author. Just noted that his credentials (for writing about anything other than his opinion) are somewhat lacking.
Of course the law is competetive. The bottom line of being an attorney is the ability to argue a point. That by its very nature is a competition.
As mentioned ... most of the searches are going to be so cursory as to be almost laughable. Naturally, that's a prediction on my part ... but since the original post was whether people were "worried" about Customs ability to search digital media, I would still have to say ... no. Not worried. Don't think it is going to amount to all that much.
