Exactly. The fucking govt. is ALREADY taking people's laptops. And if the law comes to your house...they will take every computer you have and remove the hard drives to "investigate" them. And the guys I know who have had this happen have all told me that when they finally got their stuff back it was ruined.
But back to the borders and flying...they are already taking people's laptops to search for "dangerous" literature that could be "terrorist" related. Just in case any of us wanted to actually read what the crazed muslims are preaching.
So if they are already doing mind and thought control by searching our computers...then what the fuck? Why not use that shit to stop piracy too?
FWIW, I won't take my laptop on another plane. I'll ship it overnight to wherever I'm going.
