I think the “border” line between what is being done in EU and US is that in EU
this is only done under a terrorism classification ?
I can ask about this to a Spanish State Lawyer that I will be able to talk at
the end of the week …
I knew about the UK case, but I no longer consider UK part of the EU, never has
been “totally”, and clearly it should be considered also when we plan new
meetings.

Jordi

You are indeed missing something.
Here is one pretty famous case, happened in Heathrow: Greenwald's
partner detained, thumb drives confiscated.

Here is a clip about Canada's refusal to disclose laptop search policy:

Article 60 of French custom code authorizes inspection of anything you
carry, can be interpreted as authorizing search of laptops or cell phones:

Various European countries, including the UK and France, have passed
inquisitive snooping laws. Maybe they are less visible than what happens
in the US, but I would not hold my breath...
