And I'm still waiting for someone to explain how that works with employer gear.

I'm guessing my corporate compliance team will not be pleased if I tell them someone made copies of all the companies data...even if it is uncle sam.

Like what does one do in that situation? Can't really agree. At the same time US border staff is not known for their understanding nature when it comes to saying no.



If they are concerned they will do what many companies do when going to places like China. You get issued a new laptop for the trip who's only job is to act as a remote terminal to a system that doesn't travel with you.


Any reason why you can't ask your corporate compliance team for guidance on this issue, well before the date when you might cross the boarder?


Revoke keys and inform the person responsible for compliance.

There's not much more you can do in that situation.


>There's not much more you can do in that situation.

Indeed - and yet that is an entirely unworkable situation. e.g. The stuff on my laptop is covered by three countries' regulators/boards of directors/jurisdictions, none of whom will be understanding if I tell them the border stasi copied all the data ably assisted by yours truly with decryption keys

Very much doubt I'd still be employed even if innocent & had no choice

>Revoke keys

With financial data once its been duplicated it's gone / out in the wild.
