[SGVLUG] interesting, border inspection issues

[Tom Emerson]

>From what I understand of the article, I would imagine they "have a strategy" for that -- they'll tell you "ok, we'll hang onto this for a while -- you'll get it back when we're done" and send it to a specialist that knows the language.  I also suspect that the condition you get it back in (IF you get it back at all) will be less than optimal...

(in our model rocketry group, we have an expression for when a rocket "shreds" into millions of pieces -- we say it has "re-kitted" itself, meaning that it is in the same or similar condition as when you bought it -- a "kit" of parts.  To put it more directly, you need to put the pieces back together...)

What I'm getting to is that I'd hate to see a re-kitted laptop... ;)
