Dept. of Homeland Security: Laptops, Phones Can Be Searched Based on Hunches June 5, 2013 3:59 PM

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — U.S. border agents should continue to be allowed to search a traveler's laptop, cellphone or other electronic device and keep copies of any data on them based on no more than a hunch, according to an internal Homeland Security Department study. It contends limiting such searches would prevent the U.S. from detecting child pornographers or terrorists and expose the government to lawsuits.

But you can encrypt your drive and just this past week a judge ruled that you can not be compelled to provide the password to decrypt it. Besides that I wonder if there is anyone stupid enough to carry child porn or terrorist plans cross border on a laptop!?

Honest to God, I would love to carry an encrypted drive full of gobbledygook across the border just to see their faces when they finally cajole me into giving them access. :pound

They would probably just assume that the "gobbledygook" was a code of some kind or another layer of encryption, and lock you up as a suspected terrorist or spy.

Gee whiz, I'd like to know what is causing this mass amnesia among government bureaucrats. They can't remember there exists a thing called the Constitution. I wonder if this unfortunate medical condition has any remedy. I doubt Obamacare would cover treatment.

The scope of the spying is scary and the msm is one again playing catchup in these stories. At some point they're going to have to do their jobs and investigate because from what I'm reading the gov't is able to read facebook posts, twitter posts pretty much our every keystroke.

And I'm thinking we need to present the gospel as often as possible. The internet presents us with incredible opportunities to do that.

Who broke this story? The Guardian - a foreign news outlet. Where's our news people? Playing catch-up that's where. I wonder at what point that ends and they start paying attention to what's going on.


Obama administration defends 2nd mass surveillance project

The Obama administration found itself defending -- and beginning to explain -- yet another surveillance effort after leaked documents revealed information about two secret National Security Agency intelligence-gathering programs.

On top of a Guardian newspaper report that revealed how authorities were collecting phone records from millions, a Washington Post report detailed another program that scours major Internet companies including Google and Facebook for data. A former senior NSA official confirmed to Fox News that the program was started in 2007 by the FBI and NSA and allows them to tap into top U.S. Internet companies to pull audio, video and other data.

I don't think our news people are playing catch-up. They don't want to admit that this administration is doing anything wrong. This is there hero in office.
