They had a self-produced document that stated they could demand access to all your electronic property? Well in that case it must be legal.

This is why you fly with a burner phone and laptop if you travel internationally. Exactly what I did. As an attorney I didn't feel comfortable with the possibility of being forced to unlock a phone with hundreds of private client emails. I don't do criminal work, so most likely no one would give a darn. Still I knew it was possible they would ask, and I knew if my answer was no it contains attorney client privileged communication they would bend me over. |

You think the US is bad, you should try China.
Wife actually ended up canceling her last business trip to China because they got word that any executive of the company would be detained indefinitely due to them no longer bribing the correct Government people after their China office leadership got fired and they got fined by the Feds for bribery. (It's expected/required over there, US companies tell their Chinese employees not to do it then they get caught and the US company gets fined despite them telling their local guys no. |

Everything via VPN back to my home office computer, VPN logs and software easily nuked from the laptop before leaving foreign lands. Most of the times my US phone is on my charger in my vehicle (12v port active with vehicle off) forwarding all calls to my burner phone, and I don't even need my phone to be on anymore to do that. Another reason why TMobile is the cat's meow. Free txt/data worldwide. I can store all of my whatsapp content in the cloud, backup and move everything on the fly, never have to deal with making a long distance call and paying roaming fees, except when I was on the tarmac of Kigali Airport for 5 hrs early last year. |

I had to help one of our contacts (a construction manager that was barely computer literate) take a course on corporate IT security (yeah the irony wasn't lost on me) They had an entire section on traveling internationally and it was their position that corporate devices should not be carried internationally. They didn't exactly tell people to go down to the 7-11 and pay cash for a cricket flip phone, but they made their point. |

Being a defense lawyer it may not be that big a deal, but the French Intelligence has an entire unit (about a 1/3 of their budget at one time if you believe the reports) dedicatred to Industrial Espionage. As I mentioned earlier this is an actual concern for people engaged in International Business. Also it is an avenue for them to get blackmail info on company toolks for later. Remember a few months ago when it came out China had uploaded spyware on pretty much every cellphone made in China. Crappola is serious yo. |
