Re: Confidential information
There have been rumours for years about border agents taking electronic equipment from business men entering the US and later competitors have a mysterious edge.
It's just a pity that from the media laws like this seem to be used as a crutch by lazy and incompetent fishermen and a power like this is ripe for abuse. If someone is guilty of a crime that would warrant examining their hardware like this you'd hope the police would be able to piece something together without it or have the expertise to get through without it. There is a difference between secret and private.
