I find this very difficult to believe.
 
How many people can remember the hostname, IP address or URL used to access
their email, without the benefit of bookmarks or an preconfigured mail
client? How many can even remember their password? For most people, their
account and client would be set up by their employer or their ISP. They boot
up Outlook and it just works. I know I couldn't provide this information,
particularly after a long-haul flight, nicotine withdrawal, and standing in
line at passport control for an hour.
 
And how would DHS know what email accounts you have, anyway?

It should be noted that as with fingerprinting, some countries MAY demand
similar action from our citizens entering their country.

Hi Dave,
 
As an attorney, practicing in the areas of international business and
immigration law, it has come to my attention through discussions with other
attorneys, that DHS is pulling aside "selected" aliens  at entry checkpoints
and bringing them into a separate room which contains a DHS computer
connected to the internet. The aliens are told to bring up their various
email accounts on the screen and enter their passwords. DHS then reads the
emails for information pertaining to possible unauthorized work or other
matters and questions the aliens on these findings. Of course, no attorney
can be present at these interrogations! People travelling to the U.S. should
be aware that a possible search of them by DHS now also means a search of
their email accounts!
 
Regards,
Rose Robbins, Esq.
