Border searches have a lower standard of probable cause, but as our personal electronics contain more and more personal and intimate information, this is not good. I would definitely sanitize my laptop if I were going to/returning from a foreign country.
I don't have anything to hide, but that doesn't give you the right to go poking through it. And if someone says otherwise, ask them for their bank account numbers and the last ten years of their tax returns and see what they say.
