Same thing happened to me, although I forget which airport it was. I don't pay much attention to the security signs, but I thought they mentioned that you should be prepared to turn on your laptop. I'm surprised more people haven't seen/heard of this.

There's a lot of difference between booting up a computer and actually have people *look* at what's inside.

If security people at airport or any other place want me to boot up a computer to make sure that it is one, I'd have no problem.

If they want to look at my temporary internet files? HELL NO! I don't see why anyone would agree to that kind of invasion of privacy.

I glanced at the title and thought the thread was about this guy...

Similar example: A guy murders and buries a person. The cops suspect him of the murder and see him with a shovel and dirt on his pants but, try as they might, they can't find the body. Can they order the guy to reveal where he's been digging? Where he's been digging is as innocuous as a password, except for what might be revealed when the police leverage the information.

I seem to recall hearing a case like this. My understanding is that someone cannot be compelled to give up that sort of information under the 5th Ammendment.
