Do you keep everything on your laptop and are thinking about foreign travel?

You might want to do a little cleanup first. I'd suggest backing up and removing stuff that you won't need and storing the backup DVDs in a fire-proof lock box or safe deposit box, then doing a wipe/overwrite of the unused parts of your drive.

There is a lot of uncertainty about what your rights are regarding search and seizure, so it'd be best if nothing major is there in the first place.

Overseas. Don't take the laptop unles syou have to. Burn what you need onto a jmp drive or memory stick and borrow a laptop when you get there.

Interesting approach. Sounds good. For me, I would have to have one for storing digital photos.
