Yes, I was referring to Canadian customs, coming back. Now I wish I
could remember where I read/heard the stories. I think one of them
might have been on talk radio... I remember a fairly detailed
explanation of how the customs agent used the 'find pictures' feature on
the guys laptop which surprised him when it found his browser cache.
But I'm pretty sure that wasn't the Linux specific story I heard. That
one talked about a guy losing his Linux laptop for several months
because the border guys thought something was fishy about it.
Based on the reaction here, I think I'll simply not worry about it.
Maybe setting GRUB to boot into Windows by default will keep them happy
if they even care.
