Collecting of details on travelers documented
By Ellen Nakashima, Washington Post, September 22, 2007
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn....47.html
The U.S. government is collecting electronic records on the travel habits of millions of Americans who fly, drive or take cruises abroad, retaining data on the persons with whom they travel or plan to stay, the personal items they carry during their journeys, and even the books that travelers have carried, according to documents obtained by a group of civil liberties advocates and statements by government officials.

The personal travel records are meant to be stored for as long as 15 years, as part of the Department of Homeland Security€™s effort to assess the security threat posed by all travelers entering the country. Officials say the records, which are analyzed by the department€™s Automated Targeting System, help border officials distinguish potential terrorists from innocent people entering the country.

But new details about the information being retained suggest that the government is monitoring the personal habits of travelers more closely than it has previously acknowledged. The details were learned when a group of activists requested copies of official records on their own travel. Those records included a description of a book on marijuana that one of them carried and small flashlights bearing the symbol of a marijuana leaf. .......... [complete article]

(azza33 @ Sep. 22 2007,08:04) and store it in a password protected encrpyted zip file and that way no ones gonna see it...

You think US Customs can€™t open an encrypted ZIP file? LOL Think again!
If it€™s an NSA approved encryption method there will be some form of embedded back door keys known as retrieval keys. Anything Microsoft makes that encrypts files has it€¦ this is so the Government can still keep an eye on what we do.

Now if you do want to encrypt something so they can€™t crack it then you have to go to a place like Finland where there€™re no laws that require any company creating encryption programs place retrieval keys in their product. Try Jetico.com look for best crypt€¦ this program allows you to create and use your own custom ciphers €¦. LOL no ones ever going to crack that shit.

point taken~~~

but i figure the time taken to get warrant and all the rest of the crap to do what u said could be done....

you'd be long gone from the airport and they can return 'my precious' in the mail....

and no embarrasment

[Snick]

uhhh........
What do you think would happen if customs found an encrypted file that they could not open ?
That they would let you go and say "sorry Sir, we can't open your heavily encrypted file so you must be innocent"
Or, "Sir, please decrypt this file for us....we can wait". ?

I rarely bother to encrypt anything when traveling, porn is porn, even ladyboy porn. On the rare occasions when I do encrypt (usually because I am in the picture and I am more worried about losing my drive then customs), I use the encrypt tools Bam suggested and I rename the extension to ppt (powerpoint) or mpeg.

to be totally paranoid, encrypt your stuff into a single big archive
then split it into pieces
take a few of the pieces (1-5%) and email them to yourself or copy them over the net
then take all the other pieces with you on disk/HD
even if customs confiscated your files they still couldn't assemble them
( of course they could still hold you until you told them how to re-assemble )

LOL€¦ you seriously think they need a warrant?

When you€™re at an Airport you€™re at a boarder port of entry into the USA€¦ they don€™t need a warrant to search you, open files on your computer€¦ even strip search you and look up your ass if they want. It's a no mans land and you basically have no rights and that€™s the scary part.

[azza33]

actually kinda interesting stuff~~~

What rights do we actually have when entering a country?

If we have violated no law then,
does anyone have the right to inspect our computers files etc?

Surely there has to be a presumption of innocence....

For example, say you are profiled as a possible whatever and they pull u aside and find a memory stick of whatever...

They cant force u to open it? can they??
I would assume you could basically tell em to bugger off
hand the device over and say its your problem....

i mean, if its commercially sensitive business files or whatever the hell it is....
What legal right do they have to actually look at the stuff?

No judge would ever say, yes you can search someones house, because he went to Thailand for a holiday and owns a computer.... So why can they do this at an airport

So i just wonder what real rights they have at the airport....

Or is it a game of bluff???

my question is more aimed at when ones returns to their own country, not entering a foreign country~~ as they have to let you back into the country....

[sirmartinfrobisher]

They can turn your gizzards out.
The encryption of files has been used by pedo's to hide stuff on their hard drives for years and the "I've forgotten the password" defence has also been used by them. The judges have begun to say "well you can go to prison until you remember the password then".

[Monkey]

if you're gonna keep them on your laptop you could always bury them in some obscure program folder and change the extension from .gif/.jpg/.png/etc to something else .bkp or anything you like, just as long as you don't name them something obvious e.g. "tiny_titty_teenie_sucking_my_cock.fbs"

lol

unless you destroy the data properly (up to DoD/MoD standards) then customs can recover the files anyway if they are really that bothered.

at the end of the day I reckon they are more interested in finding terrorist related things than seeing you sucking on some chicks knob!

There is a world of difference between PORN which is illegal in many countries (including Oz) and "erotica". If you watch the OZ program "Border Patrol" you will find that your name goes in the computer for "future reference" if they find "suspicious" material. It's worse in the US. Bruce Schneier's site has MANY references to it. For a recent example look at yesterday's post

http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-0710.html
........

"The Home Office has steadfastly proclaimed that the law is aimed at catching terrorists, pedophiles, and hardened criminals -- all parties which the UK government contents are rather adept at using encryption to cover up their activities."

We heard the same thing from FBI Director Louis Freeh in 1993. I called them "The Four Horsemen of the Information Apocalypse" -- terrorists, drug dealers, kidnappers, and child pornographers -- and they have been used to justify all sorts of new police powers.
