“Any customs agent who wants to go poking around your laptop’s hard drive is going to need a legitimate reason to do so, if legislation proposed Monday is adopted.

Adam Smith (D-WA).” (09/30/08) Link: http://tinyurl.com/4q7qsu Filed under: CANDi News and LAND News and PND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
