Homeland Security Gives US Border Agents Permission to Take Laptops, Copy Information, Hold Computers Indefinitely

In a poisonous attack on the Fourth Amendment, the Department of Homeland Security has given permission to the US Border Patrol to seize the laptops of people crossing the border into the US. They can take them to undisclosed locations, read any material on the computers, and COPY anything they desire -- without a warrant or just cause. This is unbelievable! Welcome to the USSA.

Here is the story. Please pass this along.
