I guess once they convince the public they no longer have any expectation of privacy or dignity with respect to their persons , it is deemed there are no limits as to how far they can go .

Encrypt and email data / documents generated while traveling before you come back. Then potential nightmares become just PITA.

A hearing Wednesday before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary's Subcommittee on the Constitution hopes to learn more about the extent of the program and safeguards to traveler's privacy. Thank God they're addressing this, and not the trivial stuff like how the price of diesel and gasoline is going to torpedo the economy...

...
a freelance investigative reporter whose recent stories have ranged from the origins of the Iraq war to the impact of money in presidential politics.Since most so-called "reporters" are part of the enemy camp, or at least enablers, they need to be watched carefully. If he was doing hate Bush stuff he was probably on a watch list.

If that is not reason to have a PDA (I use Blackberry) on a dedicated server so you can remotely wipe it in about 3 minutes, I don't know what is. Then you can push it back down to a new device.
Company security, AND personal security, is a part of smart technology that is implemented ahead of time. IMO.
Plus, "the hassle" of having a security sign on (mine locks itself after 15 mins or non-use, being holstered or if I hit the lock button) on a PDA/Laptop is more important than ever.

Yeah, then your data resides on dozens of servers around the globe.

The economy is not a Constitutional issue. 4th amendment rights are.
Seems like "freedom" is when you have nothing left to lose.
I await the lawsuit from AP/DCAA/WHOEVER over using words in a row.

"It was fortunate that I didn't use that machine for work or I would have had to call up all my sources and tell them that the government had just seized their information," he said. The dirty secret and part of the reason the Left doesn't want phone taps for those communicating internationally with terrorists is that the Western media IS in communication with some of the so called "insurgent" terrorists.
Time Magazine had a reported embedded with them at the time of Saddam's capture. He went into terrorist seized cities as a guest.
Some in the media have chosen a side in this war and it is the opposition.

I wouldn't care if he was picking his nose in public. He has God-given right to privacy that is enumerated #4 in the Constitution.
What part of the 4th Amendment enumeration of God-given rights do you object to?

There can be no genuine border security for travellers when millions of illegal invaders have come into this nation with no inspection or prosecution from law enforcement agencies, no prosecution of the city councils and mayors who institute "safe harbor" programs for illegal aliens hiding out, no investigation by Congress.
Only the citizens who dare submit to the law are to be punished by it.
It does not pay to be an American these days. Foreign nationals have many more rights in our courts and Congress than the citizenry.

The economy is not a Constitutional issue. 4th amendment rights are. Amendments? Congress don't need no steenkin' Amendments...
To: an amused spectator
Nope, they didn't, since God gave them to us. They just wrote them down and enumerated them.

“War on Terror” = War on 4th Amendment.
I’m sorry, the remains of the 4th Amendment.

Since most so-called "reporters" are part of the enemy camp, or at least enablers, they need to be watched carefully. But always within the bounds of the 4th Amendment.

I guess once they convince the public they no longer have any expectation of privacyYou have never had a 'reasonable expectation of privacy' when going through customs.
Sounds like the 'reporter' wasn't smart enough to know that.
