I was not allowed to touch the laptop other than pulling it out of my bag, so I had to give them my logon password. I had (and still don't) no idea what my rights were in Japan, and as I wasn't carrying any porn or anything else illegal, I didn't fight the foreign system. They did a cursory search, looked in "My Documents" etc, but I got the feeling they would have spent more time on it if the US military guys weren't pushing them to hurry it up.
But this was all 10 years ago, if they're still doing this sort of thing, hopefully it would be more streamlined, and privacy aware, as corporate laptops often carry sensitive information.
