Thanks comms.

Am_Fear_Liath_Mor, Actually I had read about it before I left and all I brought was a digital camera. I had no trouble going out, but when I got back in, it was like being in Russia. They copied my camera and Video tape, and I was acting normal. The people around me who had MP3 players and laptops or cell phones, they went crazy with there new toy I guess. They told them they have to inspect for illegal software,music or kiddie porn and were copying other peoples gear. All they got from me was my trips pictures, I took no cell phones or what have you. You have old women with laptops being searched for kiddie porn---give me a break. Some of the travelers I bumped into who told me about some things they do like acquire a pay as you go phone once you arrive at the destination. Load your contacts from a piece of paper carried hidden from customs, once loaded in the phone they burn the paper and throw the phone away before the returning flight to the US. They buy cheap MP3 players once they arrive and store there music on ftp sites that they download from the internet cafes. Where I went had no web access so a laptop was useless anyway. Do a search for customs seizing laptops and you'll see all the commotion going on. Customs has definitely overstepped there boundary on this one.
