Seattle-based blogger and photogger Ian Spiers says:

About a month ago I had a little run-in with 3 Homeland Security agents, 3 Seattle Police officers, 2 security guards and a German Shepherd while I was at a local park with my camera. The DHS agent told me that it's illegal for me to take pictures of federal property. The ACLU of Washington disagrees. My blog is my attempt to chronicle this outragous situation and bring some common sense and public awareness to it.

Subject: "1984" has arrived! DHS demanding on site acccess to email accounts of selected incoming aliens

Hi Dave,

As an attorney, practicing in the areas of international business and immigration law, it has come to my attention through discussions with other attorneys, that DHS is pulling aside "selected" aliens at entry checkpoints and bringing them into a separate room which contains a DHS computer connected to the internet. The aliens are told to bring up their various email accounts on the screen and enter their passwords. DHS then reads the emails for information pertaining to possible unauthorized work or other matters and questions the aliens on these findings. Of course, no attorney can be present at these interrogations! People travelling to the U.S. should be aware that a possible search of them by DHS now also means a search of their email accounts!

Regards,

Rose Robbins, Esq.

This means that I should probably be careful not to have any suspicious looking email on my computer either. This also creates a vulnerability for aliens entering the US because someone could send them a bunch of sketchy email that would get them in trouble when they are about to enter the US...

UPDATE:

I find this very difficult to believe.

How many people can remember the hostname, IP address or URL used to access their email, without the benefit of bookmarks or an preconfigured mail client? How many can even remember their password? For most people, their account and client would be set up by their employer or their ISP. They boot up Outlook and it just works. I know I couldn't provide this information, particularly after a long-haul flight, nicotine withdrawal, and standing in line at passport control for an hour.

And how would DHS know what email accounts you have, anyway?

Homeland Security: North Bergen Style

Homeland Security: North Bergen Style 05/24/2004 10:07 PM
Tom Rowan, the webmaster of NorthBergenPD.Com, is a patriotic guy. North Bergen, where Tom lives and where he once served as a cop, is part of Hudson County, New Jersey. Hudson County is right across the river from lower Manhattan. Area residents experienced 9/11 up close and personal. Many could see the attack from their windows-- or from streets and parks. A large number of people from Hudson County worked in the World Trade Center. Many of them died that day. Almost everyone knew someone who was a victim, or who was connected to one. Hence local support for the War on Terror has been strong. When accessing Tom Rowan's website you pass through a 9/11 memorial which includes a graphic of a weeping eagle. So it seems odd that North Bergen township officials are trying to shut down Rowan's website by declaring it a "threat to Homeland Security".
