RE: Border searches of laptops; seizure.
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:02 am EDT, Aug  1, 2006

Following up on our previous brief discussion, I'm very curious what would happen if the laptop was seized due to my refusal to allow the search.

The forensic team will recognize immediately that my entire home directory is encrypted with FileVault. Assuming FV is secure (i don't really know), what're they gonna do about it?

As you say, absent some law penalizing me for non-compliance, seems like they're SOL.

Have you seen anything in your reading that deals with this subject?
