Re: Silly move - give a US company the keys to whatever you do?
"In my old company quite a few people got their hard drives cloned at the border in the US.. in a very clear targeted way."
Which is why we're now advising staff intending to travel to the USA that they should go with a virgin hard drive and factory reset phone.
Once upon a time the USA was the worst offender on the planet for blatant industrial espionage and state-sponsored intellectual property theft. Despite misdirection and claims to the contrary, this is still the case.
