Sounds like Arnold didn't take any precautions as all, then. A dual-boot set-up or some obfuscation (like assigning a bogus file-type to the image files) or encryption would have let him slide through with no problem at all. Guy must have been a bit arrogant to think that he and his laptop were immune from inspection.
Were I to engage in unlawful behavior -- whether or not I agreed with the law -- I think I'd be a bit more paranoid and employ some level of personal protection.
