Travelers' Laptops May Be Detained At Border
No Suspicion Required Under DHS Policies

[source: Ellen Nakashima, Washington Post Staff Writer]
Friday, August 1, 2008.

Federal agents may take a traveler's laptop computer or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed.

Also, officials may share copies of the laptop's contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16 and issued by two DHS agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"The policies . . . are truly alarming," said Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), who is probing the government's border search practices. He said he intends to introduce legislation soon that would require reasonable suspicion for border searches, as well as prohibit profiling on race, religion or national origin.

DHS officials said the newly disclosed policies -- which apply to anyone entering the country, including U.S. citizens -- are reasonable and necessary to prevent terrorism. Officials said such procedures have long been in place but were disclosed last month because of public interest in the matter.

Civil liberties and business travel groups have pressed the government to disclose its procedures as an increasing number of international travelers have reported that their laptops, cellphones and other digital devices had been taken -- for months, in at least one case -- and their contents examined.

The policies state that officers may "detain" laptops "for a reasonable period of time" to "review and analyze information." This may take place "absent individualized suspicion."

The policies cover "any device capable of storing information in digital or analog form," including hard drives, flash drives, cellphones, iPods, pagers, beepers, and video and audio tapes. They also cover "all papers and other written documentation," including books, pamphlets and "written materials commonly referred to as 'pocket trash' or 'pocket litter.' "

Reasonable measures must be taken to protect business information and attorney-client privileged material, the policies say, but there is no specific mention of the handling of personal data such as medical and financial records.

When a review is completed and no probable cause exists to keep the information, any copies of the data must be destroyed. Copies sent to non-federal entities must be returned to DHS. But the documents specify that there is no limitation on authorities keeping written notes or reports about the materials.

"They're saying they can rifle through all the information in a traveler's laptop without having a smidgen of evidence that the traveler is breaking the law," said Greg Nojeim, senior counsel at the Center for Democracy and Technology. Notably, he said, the policies "don't establish any criteria for whose computer can be searched."

Customs Deputy Commissioner Jayson P. Ahern said the efforts "do not infringe on Americans' privacy." In a statement submitted to Feingold for a June hearing on the issue, he noted that the executive branch has long had "plenary authority to conduct routine searches and seizures at the border without probable cause or a warrant" to prevent drugs and other contraband from entering the country.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff wrote in an opinion piece published last month in USA Today that "the most dangerous contraband is often contained in laptop computers or other electronic devices." Searches have uncovered "violent jihadist materials" as well as images of child pornography, he wrote.

With about 400 million travelers entering the country each year, "as a practical matter, travelers only go to secondary [for a more thorough examination] when there is some level of suspicion," Chertoff wrote. "Yet legislation locking in a particular standard for searches would have a dangerous, chilling effect as officers' often split-second assessments are second-guessed."

In April, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco upheld the government's power to conduct searches of an international traveler's laptop without suspicion of wrongdoing. The Customs policy can be viewed at:

Mel Robbins' Secret Code To Success There is a secret code in business allowing just a handful of Alpha Males to have it all while dooming everyone else to fight for the scraps. And it is simply the outdated 1980s notion that Alpha Males do in fact run the show. Welcome to 2008.

Your gender doesn't determine your potential for success. Your ideas, your work ethic and how you position yourself determine your potential for success. And if you are having trouble, I will help - all have to do is ask: radio@melrobbins.com.

Donny asked me, "Mel, if the alpha male code doesn't apply - why aren't more women in leadership roles in large public companies.' Simple. The old code. The old work model. An old way of thinking. Your choices are no longer limited by how old men think.
More than half the work force is now made up of Gen Ys and husbands and wives who both work.
Gen Ys think this alpha code is a bunch of crap. And husbands and wives who both work know that something's gotta give either at home or a work to move your career forward on your terms.
More women graduate from college and graduate school than guys. With better grades and more honors degrees. You do the Alpha Male Math.

The New York Times recently reported that young women are climbing the ranks faster and earning more money in major cities than their 20-something male peers. There is more evidence than ever that women can succeed in business without turning into a guy.

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing standing in your way to get the things you want in life - is you. Not some silly alpha code.
And, I'm here to help you. Feel stuck? Not getting what you want out of life?

Want to live your dream, on your terms? Email me at radio@melrobbins.com and I will make it happen for you. Don't believe me? All it takes is an email. Let's see if you are really ready to understand the secret to success. Send the email!

NAKHEEL AND DONALD TRUMP INTRODUCE THE TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL AND TOWER DUBAI

Star-Studded Event with Heidi Klum, Demi Moore, and other A-List Celebrities Marks the Occasion

New York, New York·June 23, 2008 /PRNewswire/—Two of the world's leading developers - Nakheel and the Trump Organization - have come together to announce the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Dubai on the Palm Jumeirah, the iconic man-made island in the Arabian Gulf. A grand celebration occurred at Park Avenue Plaza in New York City…with a red-carpet reception under a 60-foot dome erected for the event. Donald J. Trump, Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Demi Moore, Naomi Watts, Heidi Klum, Al Roker & Deborah Roberts, Thom Filicia, Amy Sacco, Denise Rich, Ann Jones, Jonathan Tisch, Aby Rosen & Samantha Boardman, Marvin Traub, Kelly Bensimon, Dylan Lauren, Eric Villency & Kimberly Guilfoyle, Sante D'Orazio are a few of the many celebrities who were in attendance at the larger-than-life event.

The premier luxury hotel and residential tower - one of the most anticipated new builds in Dubai and Trump's first in the region - is poised to become a stunning landmark on the skyline of Dubai. The international launch of the exclusive residences began June 23, 2008.

To celebrate this project, Trump and Nakheel also commissioned Nathan Sawaya, Lego Master to the Stars (remember Ashley Simpson's Bee?), to build a 14-foot replica of this newest development in New York City's Columbus Circle.

A masterpiece of architecture, the 62-story, stainless steel and glass Trump International Hotel & Tower will be the tallest structure on Palm Jumeirah and is expected to be completed in summer 2011. The property will be comprised of two freestanding towers that straddle the centerline of Palm Jumeirah, making it the gateway to the heart of the development. The towers stand on a four-story bisected podium structure converging at the 40th-floor to create the building's glazed diamond shaped pinnacle. This distinctive design will offer residents and guests unobstructed panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and beyond.

A highlight of the spectacular Trump International Hotel & Tower will be the two expansive penthouse residences designed by one of Architectural Digests Top 100 interior designers, Kelly Hoppen. Hoppen is best known for introducing the "East Meets West" philosophy to interior design, which has remained her signature over the years. The classic Kelly Hoppen look is defined by using straight lines, symmetry and a neutral and subtle color palette to create balance within the home.
