You must stop thinking like a victim. It's your property, your responsibility, your freedom, your life. Assert yourself.

Okay, your heart is definitely in the right place, but if you're going to assert yourself over your electronic gear at the airport, do not for heaven's sake do it by playing cute half-clever tricks with hidden volumes or self-destructing software. Do it by politely but firmly refusing to hand over passwords; then the worst that's at all likely to happen to you is that they send you home without your gear.
