I read in another forum the BSA bafoons "normally" dont have time for this shit; however, if they don't like you for any reason then they give you a hard time, which they do already. Except now, they can confiscate your laptop or ipod if you have an illegally downloaded MP3, video, even if you've got a pirated progarm on your laptop or pic of someone that is copyrighted.
dont be surpised if Canada BSA will get tasers too. The transit police in BC already have tasers to be used on fare evaders.

Yeah, they will. They just won't bring their laptop with them or Ipod, or smartphone, or MP3 player when they go to the USA. Hell, they're even harassing people who have GPS units in their cars...."where did you buy it", where's the receipt? They should be focussing on terrorism not this kind of crap.
So these govts make huge money from taxes on ipods,mp3 players etc. Now they are punishing people for using it? Everybody knew these things where made to download music,movies etc for free. There's only a small minority who pay for the downloads.
Previously, the CBSA had to justify the search, but like we all know, h/she can say whatever they want and it goes. Now, the Feds put in this legislation so that we cant bitch about it. It's also unfortunate because in BC we have one of the worst records of assholes as border guards and harassing people. In fact, Richmond MP Raymond Chan is complaining about that too. He's received many complaints about how CBSA and the US Agents have been treating Canadians going across the line. It's like they're deliberating trying to discourage you from going across while at the same time, they enjoy watching people squirm and get all anxious and nervous when talking to these control-freaks.
