i don't think you're supposed to read it so literally. here's a scenario: attorneys are traveling overseas... say the ME... to visit clients accused of funding terrorism. those attorneys may want to be cautious of the information on their laptops. if security decides the attorney's name is on "a list" so to speak, then they're taken to the side and asked questions.

the reality is that if you've got nothing to hide, worst case scenario is your time was wasted. just be cautious of the personal, private, and privileged information you carry around.
