If I was crossing the border and up to no good I wouldn't carry any electronics with me. I'd pick up what ever I needed after the border crossing and sync whatever needed syncing on the other side.

Yeah, crossing the border these days reminds me of visiting China with electronics: Enable password SSH into a remote machine that has credentials encrypted on it, make sure that there's a saved identity for that machine, delete any SSH keys or browser saved passwords on the devices you're carrying across the border, rebuild the system once you're across.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
