<br><br>Jim,<br>
<br>
I've tried several times to post this message to ALE, and it won't post. I've posted other messages today, so I don't know what's up. Can you please post it (below) for me? Thanks.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>

<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
My wife and I are considering a road trip up to Toronto ON through Niagra Falls. Having heard / read a number of horror stories about agents confiscating / searching computers (which I do have) and smart phones (which I don't have), I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to take a laptop. Everything on my PC is legal, but I do have links, emails, contacts for alternative energy, alternative health, political topics, and ripped music, which I own the CD's for, and heretical things like <a href="https://www.eff.org/" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/</a>. These things might raise flags. I'm considering just taking an old hard drive and wiping it and installing nothing but Ubuntu. They can't read what isn't there. Then, I don't have to worry about encryption, plausible deniability, etc.<br>
<br>
Once I get there, I might need to know how to use my Hotspot VPN account with Linux. Thus far, I've only ever used it with Windows.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Ron<br>

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to<br>
call on the phone. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy<br>
mailing lists and such. I don't always see new messages very quickly.)<br>
