I agree.

The majority of people on this site are from countries that work under the rule of the law. I understand that they'd feel uneasy by these subterfuges.

But in places like Russia, China, Belarus, most of Africa and parts of Latin America these resources are more than justified. You should fear the police as much as the bad guys.

Actually, as a non-American, if I were to land on an U.S. airport with a computer or cellphone I'd also take careful measures to avoid abusive searches, even if they're substantiated by law.
