Beware, Big brother is watching you...



You think you can just go in and out of US accompained by your laptop just like that. You think you can have pirated versions of software and explicit content on your laptop while travelling internationally from US airports and escape from the customs, then think again. You will be screened for the minute detail in your laptops by the customs.

I have been reading this news every now and then but could confirm this only after the recent issues that involved some arrests and protests. Now we all need to think of the consequences of carrying pirated software and explicit and banned content on our laptops.

My advice is, just upload all the content that you really need to some file storing websites like Adrive or something else, so that you can get access to that when you reach your destination. It's better to loose some bucks than tolerating the emberassment in the hands of US customs.
