Hello ACLU?? Where are you??
Since the "antithesis" rather than the "thesis" is the target, they don't care.
ACLU sues for information on laptop searches at U.S. borders
*******************************EXCERPT********************************
August 26th, 2009
Today's lawsuit is not the first time the DHS has been pressed for more information on its policies relating to border laptop searches. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Asian Law Caucus had filed a similar FOIA lawsuit in February 2008, in which they had sought similar data from the CBP.
In response to that lawsuit, the CBP released about 600 pages worth of information on its policies relating to border laptop searches, said Marcia Hoffman, an attorney for EFF. (The documents are available on EFF's site.)
"It gave us some insight into their policies and procedures around border searches," Hoffman said. What the documents showed was that until fairly recently DHS had not thought about how policies covering other forms of searches applied to digital information, she said. Following the EFF and Asian Law Caucus lawsuit, the CBP also published a formal note describing its policy regarding border searches.

Check Obama's back pocket.
The ACLU may indeed get involved. This could affect the public’s access to free porn.
I copied this**On the night of Feb. 27, 1933 the Reichstag building was set on fire. At the urging of Hitler, Hindenburg responded the next day by issuing an emergency decree “for the Protection of the people and the State,” which stated: “Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.”
Obama is a FACIST!
Probably helping write the bill, and lining up co-sponsors.

The interesting thing here... is that it’s those very same (and so-called) “liberal groups” that would have been shunned in the past by many conservatives here... who are raising these issues, it seems...
For example this very article itself, is from one *well-known* liberal and privacy advocate, throughout all administrations... and has a very long-standing column/newsletter in regards to many of these issues — of which *this article* is one example... :-)
