Every country asserts that its agents have the right to inspect items coming across their borders.   The US is not 
different.   Furthermore, they may perform a "deep" inspection of your papers and luggage.

So why do people think that laptops should somehow be "special"?   If they can look at your papers, take apart your 
suitcase, and even perform a body cavity search before you enter the country, what makes those files on disk so 
special?   And they may do the same in France, China, Brazil, Australia, Uganda, Israel,  and.... so why single out the 
US?
