Travel with a lap top

So, I just thought I would post all this to save you all from some embarrasment. My FI and I went to Canada the beginning of this month. We for some reason got searched at customs. On top of them going through everything I brought including my underwear and bras, they opened up my FI laptop which I happened to be carrying. They started going through it which apparently is legal for them to do to help stop child porn. (I guess I look the type?) In the past I have sent my FI some "spicy" pictures. He travels a lot so anyway not the point. So, there I am standing by myself in this little cubicle (my FI is in the one next to me) and the Customs dude is going through all the pics of me. Talk about freakin' embarrassing. So, I just thought I would let you know that if you are traveling with a laptop I would erase any "spicy" material before the trip blush2.gif

OHHH another tip... when you bring in your cell phones.. you can darn well believe that they look through all your pictures... i caught one guy (umm lets just say he was a friend of nancy's) and he was lookin at my phone for just like 2 minutes which was giving me problems. and all of a sudden he started laughing because i had a really funny photo in there that someone had sent me and i called him out on it... its not like i even have photos on my phone really so no biggie. but just goes to show they will look through your photos any chance they get... hell i know i would if i was working there too so i dont get mad about it hahaha
