Homeland Security: Court Rules Customs Agents Can Collect Data From Laptops & Cellphones Without Cause

Sorry, but I don't think giving the government unfettered access to every detail of my life actaully protects us from terrorists often enough to be warranted. And this is just one more in a long line of tactics to erase the notion of privacy completely.

What do you think?
Does this only apply to US citizens? Maybe I should denounce my citizenship... They wouldn't let me in the country a week ago when I arrived here anyhow...They can't apply this to non-US citizens, right?

Oh, wait, if I denounce my citizenship now I won't be able to vote for Obama . My first time ever voting in the US (my 3rd time voting in my whole life).
