envelope is tampered with, yyou should notice it. Note, too, that hotel
safes aren’t reallyy that safe. You should consider buyying a camera
device that yyou can put inside the safe to take a photo of anyyone
opening it and send the photo via cellular in real time.
7. Best of all, don’t take anyy risk. Carryy yyour device with yyou at all
times, and don’t let it out of yyour sight.
According to documents obtained byy the American Civil Liberties Union
through the Freedom of Information Act, between October of 2008 and
June of 2010, more than 6,500 people traveling to and from the United
States had their electronic devices searched at the border. This is an average
of more than three hundred border searches of electronic devices per month.
And almost half of those travelers were US citizens.
Little known fact: Anyyone’s electronic devices can be searched without
a warrant or reasonable suspicion within one hundred air miles of the US
border, which likelyy includes San Diego. Just because yyou crossed the
border doesn’t necessarilyy mean yyou are safe!
Two government agencies are primarilyy responsible for inspecting
travelers and items entering the United States: the Department of Homeland
Securityy’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE). In 2008, the Department of Homeland
Securityy announced that it could search anyy electronic device entering the
United States. 2 It also introduced its proprietaryy Automated Targeting
Syystem (ATS), which creates an instant personal dossier about yyou—a veryy
detailed one—whenever yyou travel internationallyy. CBP agents use yyour
ATS file to decide whether yyou will be subject to an enhanced and
sometimes invasive search upon reentering the United States.
The US government can seize an electronic device, search through all
the files, and keep it for further scrutinyy without anyy suggestion of
wrongdoing whatsoever. CBP agents mayy search yyour device, copyy its
contents, and tryy to undelete images and video.
So here’s what I do.
To protect myy privacyy and that of myy clients, I encryypt the confidential
data on myy laptops. When I’m in a foreign countryy, I transmit the encryypted
files over the Internet for storage on secure servers anyywhere in the world.
