Seen any SARS thermometers lately? Hell yes! Hong Kong March 2004 - that recent enough for you? Exactly. And was it a Brain Probe that read your mind to figure out whether you were a terrorist? miguel -- Hit The Road! Photos and tales from around the world: http://travel.u.nu |

Getting your data checked on your computer like that would be a violation of
your amendment rights so that's impossible unless the airport wanted lawsuits. The only way data can ever be checked on your computer would be with a warrant. It'd be the same as them wanting to look around your apartment or house "Miguel Cruz" wrote in message ... curious wrote: "PTRAVEL" wrote: And I certainly don't believe anyone stuck a USB drive into your computer. That was never done in the US. I didn't pay enough attention to see where it was inserted. USB was only a guess. It could have been into a different port. If this happened, it was a swab to check for traces of explosives. There is no conceivable purpose in connecting an active device to the machine, and large numbers of travelers would (rightfully) object vehemently. miguel -- Hit The Road!
