I own an old laptop...so old it's pretty much useless except as a paperweight. But it does boot, and it still works as a word processor, if nothing else. I'm definitely not going to be bringing my good laptop with me when I cross the border, but I wonder what customs would make of a few thousand randomly generated garbage files, encrypted with 1024 bit PGP keys? I'm not under any obligation to provide a PGP key, especially if I do not actually know it (which is how I'd lock the files...use random alphanumeric strings as seeds, then forget them). They'd be perfectly free to copy them, since that's apparently legal. But I wish them lots of fun in trying to read them. I do wonder though...it's possible to make a CD-ROM that silently, and without prompting the user, formats hard drives. If the disk is labeled as such ("This disk auto-formats drives, do not insert into computer" or something like that), would you get into trouble carrying it in your disk case across a border? *grin*
