Homeland Security Fascism

Mike Shelton / The Yuma Sun:
A growing number of international travelers have complained about missing laptops, cell phones and other digital devices that wound up being confiscated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, under U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Based on a recent report, as part of our border search policy these agencies have the right to take any electronic equipment from anyone, including U.S. citizens, without reasonable suspicion, without stated cause, without notification. They can take a traveler's laptop and hold it indefinitely. Maybe they'll return it to its rightful owner. Maybe they won't.
