Don’t take your Dell to town

Or at least, if it’s a laptop don’t take it on an overseas flight, because you could literally never get it back.

Per newly-announced policies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement claim they can take a computer they seize at an airport check to an off-site location and hold it for an unspecified period of time. They also claim the right to share its files with other government agencies or even private entities as needed.

And, this can happen “absent individual suspicion.”
