ACTE Advice
Laptop Seizures
- 1. Do not carry any personal or confidential information that you do not want examined by third parties on your electronic devices when travelling.
- 2. Limit the amount of proprietary business data you carry on your computer. Transmit data before crossing a border so that you have access to it in the event your unit is seized.
- 3. If your laptop also serves as your major home computer, get another one for travel purposes.
- ACTE is not advising travellers to hide data from border authorities, but to take steps to minimize the impact of its loss, or the inability to access it, in the event it is seized.

Traveller Security and Data Privacy
"Where does it go? Is it shared? Is it stored? Is it destroyed? Does it go into the ether somewhere in the bowels of the U.S. government?"
Increased tensions around the globe have forced government agencies and law enforcement bodies to implement physical and virtual protection mechanisms for improving the safety of civilians, as well as the protection of information. In this new security environment, travellers have had to react and adjust to new technical and compliance requirements that many times impede the conduct of business.
