The Department of Homeland Security has the power to seize our electronics without warrant at any time if we are "near the border" or entering or leaving the country, if they feel like doing so, to search them for anything they like. Regardless of the Wall Street Journal's reporter's name, this report is disturbing in its implications for our Constitutional Rights. Again, this is why Apple has made the iOS devices so secure with 256 bit AES encryption as standard and why all of us should be using a complex passcode. This is not just phones or tablets, but also includes laptops and other electronic devices. — PING!

My take: I don't have a passcode on my phone, it isn't encrypted. I simply don't keep anything valuable on it. I figure hackers can't break in and steal what simply isn't there. However, this kind of excrement makes me want to put a passcode on my phone and encrypt the living daylights out of everything on there - which is just a few vacation/trip pics and dank memes. But I like the idea of a bunch of fascist hacks wasting time figuring that out.
