  4. Sybrand Botes First off, Canadian laws allow this type of searches and seizures (it’s in the video). Second, a lawyer, knowing that law, should not have kept that information on his devices, if he knew it was sensitive. There are ways to email, transfer or carry files on a zip drive or the like, without having them on a laptop or smart phone. Furthermore, the specific files could have been encrypted, allowing him to open his devices for the customs, while keeping specific sensitive files secure.

  5. Han Hong It doesn’t matter if it stands out or not. The law treats passwords and encryptions differently. Passwords are considered to be the same as encryption keys. Anyway, you are required by law to open your device, so they can see the contents. You are not required to make sense of all the contents or decrypt them.

  6. It’s not TSA, you moron. The TSA are just security screeners. This is customs.

  7. Marek Kolenda an empty battery means you cannot open your device, so they can confiscate it, so I would not suggest it.

  9. DC8Combi the only substantially different thing about the MAX is the engines and their management software. The rest is pretty much carry-over from the NG, which is basically the Classic, except the engines.

  10. DC8Combi both, the F-15 and F-18 were designed by McDonnell Douglas. Boeing had nothing to do with their design.
