This is fairly ridiculous, as can they or you prove you have ownership of 3000+ songs on an mp3 player? For the part, most customs people tend to be blue-collar workers and probably won't know that you're carrying eReader, let alone whether you own all the content on it. No offense to the blue-collar customs people on MobileRead.

I am a bit curious about what we aren't told in the news article regarding how she presented herself at the border. I've crossed back and forth into Mexico on numerous occasions and the only time we really were messed with was when my friend made a stupid comment, then it was off to vehicle search time. Border guards don't riffle through your stuff unless you give them a reason to, perhaps her passport entries caused some concern? Who knows but them and her since we weren't there.
