Re: Be aware when traveling to the USA.

Hi there,

According to the US Customs and Border Protection Policy document it appears that search and seizure at border/immigration centers does not apply directly to sealed letter class mail; and documents inside sealed letter class mail may not be read by officers without a appropriate search warrant.

How about mailing yourself a USB drive with encrypted data and taking that along for the trip.

story about it happening to a journalist entering the UK from France.
