TSA Laptop Policy

Eric Lucas

Dear friends & fellow world wanderers:

I just encountered some information even I did not know—when US citizens return home from overseas, TSA is entitled to seize our laptops and KEEP THEM FOR MONTHS if we present suspicious aspects. Please see:

If you think this is not something to worry about, may I remind you that TSA recently detained a former president of India?
