All that stuff is going to go on whether they are searching laptops at the airport or not. They aren't going to stop anything. It's just another level of useless security that doesn't actually secure anything, invades privacy, costs a lot of money, and inconveniences people all at the same time. For what? Nothing. Or at least next to nothing.
There are a million ways to get around this kind of "security", and I don't even mean with encryption devices or anything like that. Like someone else said -- "have they not heard of the internet"? You don't need your files to even be stored on your computer. You can get to them anywhere if you have the slightest lick of sense.
