Cisco had a case in which a traveller had their laptop detained and
its disk copied by border authorities in Ben Gurion Airport. There
was some embarrassment related to customer-confidential files, which
some at Cisco believe may have been the objective of the border service.
That said, I have been through many airports, even US ones, and not
had this issue.
What I would suggest is that people encrypt confidential information
on their laptops, and perhaps the entire laptop.

Hi,
Somebody brought to my attention this:

It seems there have been several cases and the problem is increasing.
I wonder if anyone from IETF had (unfortunately) experienced this
problem or
has first hand information about cases (googling you can find many
cases and
it shows that the laptops and other devices are returned after
years, not
just days or weeks).
Also I wonder if you can confirm if other countries have similar
laws or is
an isolated case ?
Regards,
Jordi
