The arrest of a Catholic bishop on child-pornography charges highlights the power of border agents to see not just your passport, but the contents of your laptop computer. Between them, the Canada Border Services Agency and the RCMP enforce dozens of statutes -- the border agency at various ports and crossings, the Mounties between ports of entry.
The Customs Act gives Canada's border officers authority to examine people's personal baggage and goods upon arrival to, and departure from, Canada, including scrutiny of electronic devices.

I have a fingerprint protection on my laptop, if I refuse to unlock it for them what are they going to do?
This is scary too:

But unlike the RCMP, the border agency has no independent watchdog to investigate public complaints.
