---- What's in a Laptop? Court Ponders Legality of Border Searches Is your laptop a fancy piece of luggage or an extension of your mind? The question, before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, arose from the prosecution of Michael Timothy Arnold, an American citizen whose laptop was randomly searched in July 2005 at Los Angeles International Airport as he returned from a three-week trip to the Philippines. Agents booted the computer and began opening folders on the desktop, where they found a picture of two naked women, continued searching, then turned up what the government says is child pornography. _http://www.sdnp.undp.org/perl/news/articles.pl?id=9511&do=gpage_ <http://www.sdnp.undp.org/perl/news/articles.pl?id=9511&do=gpage> _______________________________________________ AfrICANN mailing list AfrICANN@afrinic.net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann
