In one case, the laptop was passworded; the owner refused to divulge the password; he was jailed and brought before a grand jury, which ordered him to divulge the password or remain in jail until he did. After a week, a judge overturned the order. A lawyer from a CDN firm said that his firm's policy is now that all its lawyers cross the border with empty Blackberrys and laptops. The laptops contain only the OS and a browser so the lawyers can get to their web site. The EFF is fighting these rulings, but that could take a while.
