  • How encrypt portable hard drives?

    How do I encrypt portable hard drives or photo contents in Dropbox? Need to learn this as the Customs/Homeland security can now overrun our constitutional rights to privacy and conduct illegal search and seizures and lie that they are trying to protect the homeland. FARK YOU MUTHAFUGGERS! Any tips how to outsmart them. Has anyone ever lost or gotten their contents damaged, corrupted, or stolen from Dropbox? Another reliable means to keeping these SHEETERS out of my private affairs. They asked me if I have pedophila. I said WHAT! and NO!. Then they asked if I knew any pedophils. I said I just told you I don't do pedophilia so why would I know any pedophils? Do you want me to be your spy? Believe it or not my government is using terrorism as an excuse to abridge our civil rights. All Presidents condone this because they want to get reelected. Now I now why the NRA is so popular and successful. They are trying to slowly strip us of our rights to protect ourselves from tyrants. Marcos did this and by declaring martial law he enlisted the help of his cousin Fabian Ver by making him General and head of the entire army. Very clever. So what the ways I can keep these FARKER's eyes off my private affairs?

    You can easily encrypt any drive on windows or MAC.

    I believe many services like dropbox are encrypted but with a court warrant they can get past this.
    Storing your files on any service you don't control can put your information at risk.

    Encrypting your data is probably not the best thing to do. If they are accusing you of something and they cannot see what is on your devices, they can seize them until you give the the password. If you can't or won't show them the media on your laptop or drive, you could be detained also.

    If you are not doing anything wrong, then there is nothing to hide really.
    Sex tourism or making porn is not a crime in the USA, so nothing they can do about legal erotica on your devices.

    The first time I came back to Canada from Thailand I got stopped and questioned which turned out to be vaguely related to:
    "what is a middle age guy was doing in Thailand.?"
    Once I showed them all my vacation pictures, it was confirmed I liked ladyboys. The customs agent basically called me gay but I just took it.
    However in the end I was doing nothing wrong, it was basically related to pedohpalia too I believe.
    So the best bet is to just be honest and show them what you were doing, I have had problems when I am not honest about what I was doing.

    Now if questioned in any way coming back by customs I start talking about ladyboys immediately.
    Never been stopped again.

    The only way to have files that can't be found is to put them somewhere with no trace.
    Your external drive is not secret and there will be a link to dropbox app on your devices.

    You would have to get some hosting or cloud space and use FTP or something to put your files on a server you control.
    Perhaps get some software where you can access your home computer from abroad and upload them before you come back.

      Crag's advice is quite sound - however, when you encrypt your drive it makes it even more suspicious if customs agents choose you for random screening. You can be sure they have programs that can unlock the encryption, or hold the drive until another agency/expert can crack it.

      Transferring your files via FTP is probably most secure. There is something a little more low tech you can try. You can rename your photo files to something innocuous, like "tax.doc" etc. On a cursory inspection it will look like a regular office file and unless they try to open the file it should pass inspection. You can rename it back to the proper name after you get home. You would need something to rename the files as a batch as I'm sure you have several hundreds of photos.

        I think they would be smart enough to look into tax.doc unless they are overloaded with work. I have a file of my father's funeral, and I'll bet you they will look at them. they are trained to see Nazi's in their soup. SD card contain tons of data so 2 months should keep them busy. They will NOT find anything about PEDOPHILIA. Promise. I don't even think about the word. They will find no history of it in my computer. I don't like it, love it, hate it, or have any curiosity about it. Why did I come under suspicion? Was it because I was single, visiting Bangkok for pleasure on a 2-months tourist visa that I obtained responsibly at the Thai consulate in Honolulu? Did they put a tag on all visitors of elderly age who visited Thailand five times in five years? Are they so dumb they need to let a dumb computer do this for them? In the past 5 trips I was asked to open my bags twice and they believed my declaration of goods I was returning with. This time because the King died, tourism dove. Then everybody has sales which brought down their already low prices another 20%. Shopping was so much fun at Terminal 21 which I learned about through this website. Same for Pantip Plaza and Fashion Mall next door. WOWOWOWOW!!! What a shopper's paradise. This is where all the buyers form Macy's, Bloomingdales, Norstrom, et al come to fill large grosses of wonderful things made by Thai hands. So what am I guilty of if I bought so much stuff that I had to pay US$150 excess luggage and carry 5 loads of carry-on bags into 2 airplanes going home. I told them everything is so FUGGIN' CHEAP I could't help myself. They asked me if I was bringing back money. What amounts of money are you talking about? More than $10K. I said NAAAAH! I went with $10K in traveler's checks and returned with 4 $500 unsigned checks plus about B1K for my taxi fare on my next visit. Stupid questions from a mental dumb flow sheet. They actually think I might be a smuggler, money launderer, pedophile, and whatever. When I told them I was a retired doctor they didn't want to look at me in the eye. They quickly realized they made a fuggin' stupid mistake. But still they asked if I do PEDO. I had to laugh. Is this what this is all about? Then came the second question Do I know any pedophils? What part of NO! don't they understand. Do you want to live there? Why is this relevant question? No, it is a corrupt and filthy country, and it is depressing to see poverty. They must have lost interest because they didn't ask me why I visit Thailand so often. I would have answered because I am stuck on an island only 50 miles in diameter. Homeland Security hires such dumb asses. I really think they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for employees. They told me that they are trying to protect the Homeland. What a memorized line. Do they actually think that is true? Homeland Security has become a MAFIA and has cleverly crafted an amendment to ignore our rights to privacy and illegal search and seizures. We have become Nazi Germany and Communism at the airports. An intelligent crime fighter would look in the computer to find pedophiles. doesn't that make sense? Find websites that sell pedo pictures and steal their credit card info to find their owners. Is there a problem with this type of spying being unconstitutional? Like drugs, alcohol, sex, pedophilia cannot be stopped. You can just control it or lessen it. This business of ernie, minnie, minnie, mo selected innocent passengers and rudely running an inquisition is so SHHHEEEEEET! It is obnoxious and isn't the correct way to do it. Sure people try to undeclared goods. It's human nature. They like to save. The Customs love to accuse people of lying even thought they know Asian goods are cheaper. They love to torture people even though they were bringing in only one of each item and not planning to start a import/export business. Saw a news article on TV showing a huge warehouse full of containers and stack of boxes of what was identified as fake merchandise from China. Well there's your cue. Concentrate your efforts at the docks. Not the airports. Humans cannot carry enough hot merchandise to make a worthy profit. Law enforcement is so dumb all they way up to the top. Even down to the bottom. Our Honolulu Chief of Police has received a warning letter that he will become the target of a federal investigation for faking a stolen mailbox to frame his relative who was suing him for something about a property. His wife is also a co-target because she was a deputy City prosecutor who executed a warrant to search and seize items from his home. So stupid! Now the head Chief Prosecutor who is Japanese is having his integrity questioned for keeping her in his employ even thought it is very suspicious how his warrant was given. Way back when this Hawaiian guy was introduced on TV as the new Chief they showed his wife and said she was a prosecutor. Right there I questioned in my mind if this was ethical. Wasn't there an obvious CONFLICT OF INTEREST? Yep, that's what's going to make make some very interesting newsprint in the next few months on a boring island in the middle of the Pacific. You might be able to get free news at http://www.staradvertiser.com/ The City & County of Honolulu and the State General Attorney cannot or will not correct the crimes of HPD. 4 Assistants are soon to be added to the list, and one has confessed he staged that stolen mailbox video. What stupid asses we have in Honolulu. So comical. So funny that I think I will delay my next Bangkok Gangbang until next November and forget about taking pictures of their Gay Pride day in April. Things like this in Hawaii make me forgive Thailand's Keystone Cops new in PattayaOne.net. We have the same problem. The entire USA law enforcement, too. What madness! Blacks killing their own kind, and cops killing them. There is some truth to any excuse that cops shoot because they are afraid they will shoot them before they can defend themselves. If I were a cop I would shoot if you don't stop talking back, make sudden unexpected moves, appear drugged, or just look suspicious. I don't like surprises. The situation is getting so out of control they are even conducting illegal searches and seizures on me. They confiscated all four of my cameras even though 2 are broken and unusable plus almost all of my SD cards. The muscle head failed to find my SD book even though he made a mess of my luggage 3 times. Bonehead dumb football wannabe. Even missed my GoPro Camera attached to a tripod. They needed to confiscate these things because they had to save face. As soon as they heard I was a doctor they realized their stupidity. They then returned me my Halloween costumes and masks, my bag of 11 woven hats, my fake gold necklaces and pendants (only 3-4 had supposedly real gold. I did challenge them to bring the test kit. It's just a bottle of liquid that will change color when rubbed on with a rag. I don't think they even had it on had. Keystone cops).

        I'm sure you all are laughing at my predicament. In the end I will think it funny. I hope they will record that I was searched and nothing illegal was found. I am not a drug runner, smuggler of undeclared goods, and certainly not a PEDOPHILE. You should see my friends react WHAT! How can that be. Then comes the jokes You one dirty bugger you. The USA is so FARKED UP and full of hypocrites. You know I'm really glad I didn't fight in the Vietnam War. I would have been shocked What the FARK am I doing shooting people who look like me! Just a few weeks ago I was watching the two-hour video of LBJ. I know that the war was started because we were attacked in the Bay on Tonkin. I was shocked to learn it was fake. There was no attack. It was a stormy rainy day and the sailors could not read the radar static. So they armed up and shot everything they had in the air so long as it wasn't their foot. At daylight they search for debris, oil slicks, or any evidence of a sunken vessel. There was none to be found. Instead the news reported we were attacked. Because there was no Internet I couldn't find out what the hell we were doing there is the first place. Turns out that Johnson was running for re-election against Goldwater who was a warlord. He was pissed that Goldwater accused him of being a sissy incapable of fighting back. Johnson instead of admitting the Tonkin affair was an accident went ahead and lied that it was a justified shooting and an act of war. He got re-elected. And thousands of young men, women, and children were killed, maimed, and had their lives destroyed. This business of killing Asians was a race war. I am so sorry I learned this so late in life, and there is nothing I can do. So sorry that people who look like me had to suffer so much.

        Anyway pray that I get my photos back soon. I was planning to post a series of photos called MY FRIENDS ARE YOUR FRIENDS.

          Ready these.




          There's something about the word paedophile that elicits a strongly negative response in people. Talk of fraudsters, thieves, hell, even the word terrorist does not elicit such a strong reaction. Last week Steve Prowler was extradited to the US to face charges relating to having sex with kids abroad after serving a year in a


          Did you read that part that we Americans can be prosecuted for sex with kids below 18 even though we are in foreign countries. I thought this was thought up by Clinton because he wanted to get re-elected. Funny he was impeached because of Monica Lewinsky. Everybody is a hypocrite. Anyway I needn't worry because I had Postit Notes with my beautiful friends' names, weight, height, phone numbers, and Facebook names some of which contain huge numbers of pictures of their interesting lives (no porn allowed). The muscle head making a mess of my luggage almost came when he saw these. Then he realized the youngest age was 21 so he dropped them. I was sneering at him. He was looking for Nazi's in my soup. What the forensic computer expert will find is that I am a thorough photographer. I took close-up pics of every dates' ID cards. My point-and-shoot camera can magnify and fill the entire screen with the full card in focus. Some lied about their ages and were actually older. The youngest was really 2 months short of 21. Some of the girls would protest what I needed to record them. I laughed and told them its for the police. Actually one did go to the police. It's that crooked Cambodian sheet who tried to pass a photocopy of her passport. The front desk girls refused it. Thinking back they were strict about getting their ID's and taking computer pictures of their faces. I'm glad my hotel does this. They are also on the lookout for ripoff prostitutes and even underaged children. Never occurred to me they might be doing that. Anyway the agent wanted a list of all the hotels, and I willing gave it to them plus the dates. I'm sure the front desk and manager will gladly testify they saw no such children and never hosted drug dealers, counterfeiters, money launderers, any suspicious people. Glad I stayed in a reputable hotel and not a cheapo short-time room above a bar. The hotel staff will remember me well. I stay 6 weeks at a time and bring such beautiful dates. One of the bars outside loves to see what kind of trophies I will bring home from each night's 10 PM hunts. They cheer loudly for me. The hotel staff all loved me, and I love them. I love the Thais. They really are the land of smiles. I was asked why I visit Thailand so often. I was truthful. I LOVE them. I love their fried rice at Soi 13/2. I love their leather shoulder bags so well-made and sold for 20% less at Mike's Mall. Don't even sell this tuff in Honolulu. No HAB! I love their fantastic Vegas quality shows at Alcazar and Tiffany's, Love their singing and dancing cabaret shows at Boy's Town. No cover charge! The Boy's Show will make you laugh at them making jungle music beating their drums. Outrageously entertaining. No where else in the world have I ever seen such a show. Memorable. the temples are photographic pleasures. Love the gold shops,antiques, and shark fin soups in Chinatown plus walking trips around old Bangkok. I told them Thailand is a great place to vacation. They got quiet. I think I convinced them I was legit. I think I must have convinced them to visit this wondrous land where they have a king they loved so deeply, where you can see vast seas of green rice growing as far as the eye can see, where people smile always, the modern skyscrapers and sky train which are works of high tech art, and the most beautiful humans with such narrow waists, beautifully shaped feet, long slender legs, and lighter tanned skins which never need sunning. Their hands fingers are so lovely and Buddha-like and with them they can cook foods that are out-of-this-world. They cook with love, and that's why their cooking classes are so popular. Don't forget Jatujak Flea Market where they make you feel so happy like you did when your were children. Thailand is the BEST place to visit. It is Heaven on Earth. God's wonderful place of Happiness. FARK YOU HOMELAND SECURITY!!!

            Wow that really sucks that they took your cameras, it is ridiculous. Not sure what it has to do with homeland security.

            I doubt they will even follow up on checking your hotels and such, they are just trying to scare you into saying something I think.

            Often not a good idea to show them up because they they become determined to find something wrong with you.

            I was stopped by Canadian customs after doing many photoshoots in the USA. At first I did not tell them what I was doing.
            After what I was doing in the USA came out they didn't even seem to care if I had ID of the models or not.
            They looked through the pictures for fun but in the end i was doing nothing wrong.
            The fact I was doing nothing wrong seemed to make them even madder and they proceeded to check the serial numbers on all my electronics hoping they could catch me smuggling something. They held me another hour so they could check where my 6 year old notebook was purchased.

            Customs agents seem all the same. If they take you aside they are determined to find anything on you at all costs.
            Almost like they need to save face or something. I see no reason they cannot just admit maybe they chose the wrong person.
            No, they are always right even when they are wrong.

            Now I start talking about ladyboys the second I am asked any question.
            I'll gladly tell them I am gay if it helps avoid them harassing me for no reason again.
            The assumption would be they may avoid conflict with gay or transgender individuals for fear of reprisal.

            Meanwhile they will harass straight guys with nothing to hide because they can.

            It would also be nice if paid government agents did not act like vindictive children when they are wrong.
            Instead they try even harder to prove you are not worthy.

              There is a screening profile customs and border security agents use - a single male between the ages of 18-55 traveling SE asia alone is regarded to have a higher percentage chance of being a pedophile and will have more likelihood of being screened.

              Crag's about not showing attitude towards these agents is important - because they can put you on a high risk screening list which means you could get stopped and searched every trip you make to SE Asia and other spots considered "preferential" for pedophiles.

              Unfortunately sometimes these guys have a desire to show their "power" and will abuse it as it sounds to be the case for georgepill. In all my trips I have only had my bags opened twice (that's probably in 70-80 trips over 25 years).

                When I deplaned and walked up to the customs bitch who stamped my passport return she sneered at me and scolded me 60 DAYS? She wrote hard on her return paper in large red numbers 60 DAYS. I knew something was wrong but what. Then is muscle head with Jewish tats stickily ordered me to bring my bags to the front for inspection. I said OF COURSE. That was what I was going to do. Made a real mess three times. I wrote leather shoulder bag purchases and he gets excited Aha, these two are nylon. I was dismayed how they hired dumb sheets like the TSA who grope, steal Rolex watches, and backpacks of goods like that Vietnamese guy with his same girlfriend waiting in the parking lot. What look they had at home. I was asked so many stupid questions what is this and what is that. I wanted to advise him to visit a Home Depot store and examine every item. Mainly I stayed cool because I was tired from an 18-hour trip. He said I had gold. I said it's on the statement sheet. I said they're fake gold. He says they have a test kit for it. I said bring it now and let's test it. He was bluffing. I wanted to ask him what his highest level of education and how old he was. I kid you not I wanted to burst out laughing when the two younger Asian supervisors asked if I do pedophilia or if I knew any such people. When I answered I was a doctor they got shy and shamed. Couldn't look at me in the eye. I asked if they need a pedophilia spy in Thailand because I answered no if I had been to Chiangmai. I welcome them to look at my three hotels and go ahead a waste some time and money to see if there was any illegal activity. I got along very well with all hotel staff. The Indian manager even came visiting my room while the maid was cleaning up to welcome me probably because I am a frequent guest staying over 30 days at a time. I think he must have laughed at all the tripods sitting in the corner. He could see I was a nice mellow 69 year old jolly guy who is happy to be in Thailand. this is good because if the Thai cops or FBI comes asking about my behavior there's really nothing sinister about me. No drug dealers came to visit me. No pimps. Just gorgeously beautiful ladyboys above the age of 21. They would get excited seeing the lovelies I would bring home and would always be guessing who enter with me tonight. Those agents had better watch out. Looking at almost 50 GB of photos and video may make them go gay (mahu). Remember that movie Cruising with Al Pacino. Made me laugh. I think these lawmen secretly love to go to Thailand for any reason they can. Remember what happened to those Secret Service men in Central America who were sent to scout the area before his arrival. They were caught forking around. Because it got in the international news they were fired. Some even sued to get their jobs back. Funny how that was not the only incident. Someone jumped the white house fence and even entered the premises with a knife. Someone shot at the WH, cracked some windows, and nobody noticed until the first lady say broken pieces of glass. Another incident resulted in the new SS head who was the first woman choice also being forced to resign when someone again breached security. Makes for great skits for Saturday Night Live.

                Like I said I didn't lose my temper. I was too tired. I asked them when I would get my cameras and card back. They explained it would probably take one month because the forensic computer examiner was on leave. Oh yeah, Christmas. I didn't ask if if one month really means two in law enforcement speak. I was dead tired. Afterwards I reexamined the sequences of events that transpired on December 15. I showed no fear because I did nothing wrong. I answer all the questions because I wanted this charade to end and go home to a hot shower and bed. I was answer every question truthfully because they were true. I know they are trained to recognize lying or untruths through voice examination or contradiction answers. They definitely are amateur dumbbells thinking from a dumb flow sheet of questions. I was prepared to answer veterinary or medical questions if they wanted to ask. They didn't. Didn't even ask where I used to work. After the talk they got real polite and schmuck muscle head Jew helped me carry my 7 heavy bags out the exit door. I forgot to ask if they still wanted to hired me as their pedophile spy in Thailand and all parts Asia. Would love to get twice a year all expenses paid to just report where there are suspiciously young children in suspicious places. Am willing to report CIA, SS, and Homeland agents behaving in unAmerican ways. Wouldn't that be a fun way to work in retirement in the most fantastic party land in Asia. HOOOOOT! Hooters here I come!

                So far I concluded the reasons the customs bitch fingered me were three. One, I stayed 60 days. One day too long. Two, some Chinese schmuck was jealous I was carrying 5 heavy bags of luggage into the plane so he squealed to customs. And they being of inferior intelligence who are easily fooled into being James Bond bit the bait. Can't help it being a shopaholic. I remember I was rambling on and on what a good time I was having for 60 days eating the BEST fried rice in the world, shopping at 20% discounts because the King's death caused tourism to drop, how Thais are so honest and loving. They really do smile. The women I photograph in Jatujak, on the sky train, and in the shopping centers are so naturally beautiful. They put their makeup on so perfectly even though they don't need it. They can dress fashionably but most look nice even when dress plainly. It's really their faces and figures that strikes me with so much awe. by the end of our conversation I think they want to visit. When they see my addicting photos they may get unfaithful and divorced. That would be divine justice. I can just go on and on entertaining the so-called law enforcement schmucks, but I was tired. They were convinced I was a nice sincere guy not smuggling heroin and cocaine, trying to cheat with receipts, or possessing child smut. I will never forget my reaction when they asked me if I had pedophilia. You would have laughed when I almost scolded these two young fools like stupid children. I wanted to teach them how to catch pedophiles and smugglers. If you all had been with me you would have been dismayed and laughing out the exit door.

                thanks for your advice not to encrypt. Will copy them onto some cloud storage so I can access my photos while they're confiscating them in the SD cards. Yes, it is stupid keeping my cameras even though there is no memory in them. It is an opportunity to get some feathers in their silly caps if they can create up a pedophilia charge. Aha, we have some cameras for the next confiscation auction. We's gonna get raises and awards. they know they made a big mistake and like all cops around the world they don't apologize. Even prosecutors don't admit guilty or apologize after criminals were released because they withheld genuine evidence. Like God, marriage, car salesmen, lawmen, lawyers, everything is a MYTH. I have written a nice letter to the ACLU via email. No reply. Will wait until January 7 before I conclude they're just fakes trying to get donations by appearing on TV protesting unconstitutional violations. Next I will write a nice letter to some of our newest female Senators and our new firebrand Rep who bolted from the Democratic Party and sided with Bernie Sanders. Funny how she was right. The Florida gal who was running the Democratic Election Campaign was caught emailing anti-Semitic trash about Sanders. She was soundly booed when she took the microphone to open the convention she worked so hard for. How strange that a Jewess would stab another Jew in an important event to select a new leader of a country. Same thing happened to Jesus. Anyway if Tulsi Gabbard ignores me I'll just laugh and take another trip to Thailand for 3 months and bring back twice as many pictures. Democracy is a MYTH.

                  That is complete bullshit they took your cameras, there is really nothing they can get off them. They can check where you bought the cameras, but the SLRs have no internal memory and they cannot pull old pictures from the sensor. They seem to have gone too far with you, there is no grounds for this treatment.
                  I think you almost have grounds to talk to a lawyer, security is one thing but this borders on harassment.

                  Also I do not buy much anymore, this only gives them more reason to stop you. However there is really nothing I need to buy in Thailand anymore, I have every shirt and too much clothes in general. Computer and most electronics cost more in Thailand so I don't buy that stuff either.
                  So I never have more than one or two checked bags anymore.

                  As I said before, if I am asked anything I am immediately telling them I am visiting ladyboy girlfriends.
                  Acting as gay as possible never hurts either, even though I don't think I am, it helps.
                  They seem to have no problem violating the rights of a straight guy, but if you are gay they tread lightly.
                  Sad all people are not treated equal but this is how our countries work.
                  Any straight guy going to SE Asia is guilty of being a child abuser until proven innocent.
                  Gays can dance naked in the streets with no reprisal, Straight guys go to jail for the same.

                  Fortunately in Canada once they profiled me the first time, they seem to leave me alone now.
                  Hopefully once they see you are not doing anything wrong they will flag you as OK.
                  They can be bitter and disgusted with you all they want, but you are doing nothing wrong.

                    Plan to make a rough draft of letters to Rep. Tulsi Gabard and Senator Brian Schatz and send them out by the end of January if no return. If returned, I will still write letters to them demanding to know what exactly was the PROBABLE CAUSE of my detention and search. Will try to get written statements on this and whether they found any evidence. Will need names, dates, and standard form letters from the December 15 incident. Any failure will be interesting for the Congresswoman and Senator to be curious why no written report or apology was given. Will have all month January to write this and polish it up. Poker time. Waiting patiently and make them wonder why I haven't been impatient.

                    I can't act gay. It's not my nature. When they interviewed me I was straight as an arrow. I answered all their silly questions with WHAT! with a twisted face and then the answers with a tone like I'm scolding them or laughing at the ridiculous questions. They are not being trained properly and are given a written list of questions to memorize to ask. The two supers were awkward and didn't feel confident. I could sense they were ashamed when I said retired doctor since 1990. Funny how the gal said she couldn't understand if Pedophilia was a disease or a crime. She was losing focus and control. Why are we talking about this. Like I said they are trying to save face. As time passes I am getting more relaxed and better at formulating an interesting letter to write. One must be very respectful when writing to people on Capital Hill. Don't swear or accuse. Ask can you help or please investigate this matter at your earliest convenience. I have had lots of practice writing complaint letters to the Hawaii State Attorney General's office (Consumer Protection) or the BBB. I think I can write a good one to get them concerned about my predicament. Then the bums will realize they messed with the wrong doctor. Glad I have no criminal history, all tickets paid, taxes paid, insurance up to date, no Customs or Visa history, or such. Am so squeaky clean like a boring guy. If I don't win I just move on. I expect some kind of report will be printed on their computer showing I was searched and found clean. Maybe even a "DON"T TOUCH THIS GUY! GOT FRIENDS IN CONGRESS". Will tell you more later.

                      Hopefully writing letters may help, in my experience border agents are never apologetic, only right.
                      Most of the time they are right but sometimes they may see anyone who travels for sex as a monster of some sort.
                      Perhaps not an illegal monster but in their minds it doesn't matter.
                      The time I came back from shooting ladyboys in the USA, the border agent said:
                      "He didn't like what I was doing, but there was nothing he could do about it"
                      So of course he was more zealous to find anything I was doing wrong because he did not like me personally.
                      This is not fair but how things work.

                      When i said act gay I more meant that I am clear that my particular taste is ladyboys.
                      In Canada and United States Ladyboys=Gay, which is different than Thailand and some other asian countries.
                      So being clear about your particular sexual preferences doesn't get them thinking funny things.
                      Plus people tread lightly when others are perceived to be gay or minorities in our PC countries.
                      I'm sure as soon as they saw how much sexually related material you recorded, they immediately thought bad stuff.
                      They didn't really look closely at the subject matter.

                      Still taking your equipment for months because they are short on lab techs is pretty sad.
                      Perhaps they can create some kind of camera profile or fingerprint that they could compare to pictures and videos they have from other sources.
                      However what evidence do they have of anything? They can't be taking everyone's cameras for months, can they?
                      This is in the name of Homeland Security? Seriously?

                      I can only console you in the fact that Canada appears equally bad, if not worse in many ways.

                        Update on my situation. This morning I wrote a letter to one of my Congresswomen about my situation at Homeland Security Investigations. I sent it by email at 10:30 AM. Guess what? I get a call exactly one hour later HSI will come to my house to return my possessions. Two guys arrive and one is wearing dark glasses. I guess they got scared when I fired back, "Did you find any pedophilia?" They answered no and I yelled, I told you so. When they arrived I did not let them off easily. I asked why I was fingered. What did I do wrong? They said I did nothing wrong and that they were just doing their job. then I got mad and hammered them with questions. What do I have to do to avoid this embarassing treatment. they said I did nothing wrong. so funny. You can see the first guy was getting flustered and shamed when I delayed signing the paper showing I received the goods in working order. I made them wait while I surfed my software and computer. Finally I came out and signed the paper, but still questioned them. then the sunglass guy blurts out that even though they didn't find any pedophiia that doesn't mean I don't do Pedophilia. Such a stupid thing to say. I will write another letter to my Rep and a Senator. sunglass guy sez prostitution is illegal in Thailand. So what now they gonna tell them. I asked if there was a US law against my having sex with consenting adults in another soverign nation. Dumb shit keeps reverting to pedophilia is illegal. Finally after asking the same question over and over again in increasing louder voices, he admits the US has no jurisdiction over prostitiion in Thailand. Ha! I think I ruined their day just like they did mine. They were scared to tell the truth. Now we will see if they will answer to the FBI if this was a violation of my constitutional rights against illegal search and seizures and invasion of privacy. So now two letters will be sent and I wait for their answers in a about 2 weeks. I don't know if I can share my photos with all of you now that I think HSI is watching this website. HooHooo! Make your nervous, No? Remember I might even get a reply at all. Anybody know if I have a right to refuse to answer questions or declare the 5th Amendment at Customs. I want to fight. Boy, I'll never forget the anxious hunched shoulder looks of the two delivers when I asked What can I do or not do to avoid a recurrence? They were really scared, nervous, and wanted to get my signature and run. Honest will always trump criminality. FARK HSI!

                          3-4-17 I wrote to the Federal Attorney General's office complaining about my 4th Amendment rights violation last December 15 by the Homeland Security Customs at the Honolulu International Airport. She replies that she protects the federal government, not prosecutes them. Instead she has referred the matter of violation of 4th Amendment rights to the local Honolulu FBI's office. That was 2 weeks ago and am still waiting. I Googled "homeland security customs 4th amendment violations" and was shocked to real this kind of searches have already been challenged in the Circuit courts, and Homeland Security wins. They CAN search your hard drives and electronic equipment without probable cause. I guess I was lucky to even get my equipment back and even luckier to yell at the deliverers at the top of my lungs. The Awipe yelled at me, "Even though we didn't find any pedophilia in your possessions, that does NOT mean you're not a pedophile. We just couldn't find any at this time!" Of course I wrote this down in my complaint letters to my Congress people, AG, and FBI. they did damage my laptop as I found out 7 of the 10 screws were loose on the bottom. I discovered this when I took it to the Microsoft Store to check for spy ware. When he flipped over the laptop I saw the loose screws. I took it back and hope the FBI will want to see it. Do google and read up on this subject. The USA is paranoid about terrorism and delighted with their new powers to "protect the Homeland" with their new NSA eavesdropping organization. Watch the movie SNOWDEN. It is interesting and scary. Anyway I got back my SD cards, cameras, portable hard drive, and laptop. I was able to get one camera repaired under warranty and get a total refund on the second one because it was not repairable. Laptop still works but so want to have the FBI check it out before I have the Microsoft Store debug it and check if any mechanical damage is found. I sure hope those guys go blind having to look at so much porn on 2.0 terabytes of information. If the FBI decides to investigate my case I hope they will be able to find out if anybody copied my photos maliciously. If they don't I will get ready for another 2 months of vacationing in Pattaya Beach next November-January. Yes, I will take more pictures and add many of my friends learning to flip the bird. Should I not have given the HSC my laptop password? Actually I'm thinking now I did the right thing by doing so. It helped to prove there was no pedophilia. If not they would have never returned my things. Probably the real reason they couldn't charge me was two fold. My friends were young adults, not children. Secondly almost every set of photography session had photos of her credit card-sized ID's. I added their weights, heights, ages, email addresses (mostly fakes), and Facebook addresses.

                          So there you have it. The Homeland Security has been already been challenged in Circuit Courts and the Supreme Court. They can without probable cause search and confiscate your electronic equipment, period. Sometimes they can hold on to it as long as they like and never give them back to you. I am think you professional photographers send your picts to your headquarters in Canada and the USA via DropBox. Download them quickly and erase them. Funny how you say you've never been searched. How did you get through with so much photography equipment? They saw that I had 7 tripods but did not confiscate them. Looking more like I will not be able to sue them for a large award and now I understand why I'm having such a hard time finding a lawyer to take my case if the FBI starts to get interested. Would I carry around so many photos again? I'm used to it now that almost 3 months have passed. They probably have been corrupted by how beautiful ladyboys are with their well-endowed tools. Probably will remember them in their dreams. Their wives will be shocked if the FBI comes around asking questions about my boudoir pictures. "What the fork you look for that kind of pictures! What's that got to do with terrorism or pedophilia?"

                          Anyway do Google "homeland security customs 4th amendment violations" and read the first listing. Everybody should know this. If you do pedophilia you will be caught. If you don't, be ready to surrender all your embarrassing pictures for a few weeks or more. Whether they will do this to me again next year will remain to be seen. In the meantime I do want to see what they wrote in investigation/confiscation report. The Senators are supposed to help me with that after I signed the release forms and mailed them out promptly a month ago. Will update your what it contains.

                          BTW, I am 69. Not the profiled ages you mentioned. Retired doctor. Remember? My father lived to 95. Why did I try ladyboys? Got tired of working so many girls I had to ask myself, "What else is there to do?" Thailand answered that for me. Heaven on earth.

                            This is a Customs case similar to mine. From the Honolulu Star Advertiser 5-12-17

                            Deaf traveler says she was denied an interpreter as she was held

                            By Susan Essoyan
                            May 12, 2017
                            A deaf visitor from Japan was interrogated for seven hours at Honolulu International Airport, handcuffed and held overnight without ever having a sign language interpreter so she could understand what was happening, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii.

                            The ACLU announced Thursday that it had filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security€™s Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, alleging discrimination by Customs and Border Protection agents and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

                            €œI was so scared and felt alone,€ the woman said in a statement released by the ACLU. €œFor people with deafness, being cut off from our ways of communicating is terrifying. I have traveled a lot, but have never experienced anything like this at any airport ever.

                            €œWith this complaint I just want to make sure that other deaf people coming through Hawaii€™s airports are treated with basic respect and dignity, and that disabilities are accommodated.€ She asked not to be identified publicly for fear of retaliation by immigration officials.

                            The woman, who had previously studied in the United States, arrived in Honolulu at about 8:45 a.m. Jan. 31 to visit her boyfriend, who lives here. She was taken in for questioning about her school record, according to the complaint. But she couldn€™t understand the questions she was asked.

                            Her written requests for an American Sign Language interpreter were rebuffed, according to Mateo Caballero, legal director for the ACLU of Hawaii, which filed the complaint April 24.

                            €œWe filed this complaint because there was a civil rights violation,€ he said. €œThe law is clear €” and it requires that federal agencies protect the civil rights of deaf individuals, including by ensuring effective communication during questioning by law enforcement. These federal agents ignored our client€™s repeated requests for an ASL interpreter, denying her ability to communicate over seven hours of questioning and 16 hours of subsequent detention.€

                            The complaint calls for a thorough investigation and training of federal staff about communicating with deaf travelers to prevent similar problems in the future.

                            A spokesman for Customs and Border Protection said the agency is looking into the case.

                            €œU.S. Customs and Border Protection has received the complaint and will address these accusations once our investigation is completed,€ said Jaime Ruiz, chief of the Northern Border and Coastal Waters Branch of the agency€™s Office of Public Affairs.

                            €œCBP takes accusations of mistreatment against travelers with disabilities very seriously,€ he added. €œCBP officers receive extensive training in disability awareness and treat all travelers with disabilities with dignity, respect and professionalism.€

                            Repeated calls to the Federal Detention Center for comment were not answered Thursday.

                            The woman had applied to visit Honolulu through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization Visa Waiver Program. Her cellphone was taken from her shortly after questioning began, preventing her from contacting her family or boyfriend, who waited for her 12 hours at a cafe near the airport, according to the complaint.

                            After being interrogated for most of the day, she was taken to the Federal Detention Center and held overnight before being sent back to Japan the next day. She was not given an ASL interpreter or accessible telephone during her detention, according to the complaint. Her hands were cuffed behind her back during transfer to and within the detention center, cutting off her ability to communicate with her hands.

                            €œOur client did not pose any threat or risk,€ Caballero said.

                            He said the ACLU is focused on the civil rights issue and had no comment on why federal agents wanted to talk to her about her school record or what visa issues she might have faced.

                            U.S. law and agency regulations require the Department of Homeland Security to give individuals with disabilities equal access to services and benefits that are afforded other people.

                            €œOur hope is that this will be an opportunity for public education not just for Customs and Border Protection, but any law enforcement or government official dealing with someone with a disability that might be deaf,€ Caballero said. €œThey have to take that into consideration in their actions.€

                            You are welcome to make your own conclusions. Poor gal got it worse than me. Good thing I got all my cameras, SD cards, portable HDD, and laptop back. What I didn't like was when the returner said, "Even though we found no evidence of pedophilia, that doesn't mean you're not a pedophile!" I wrote all this down and send letters to all Congresswomen, Senators, Office of Inspector General, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Attorney General, and the FBI. Now I must copy and paste these same letters to the Office For Civil Rights and Civil Liberties under the US Department of Homeland Security. Ha! The HSA owns Customs so why should I expect a fox to investigate foxes. My friends tell me to forget about it. Mainly I got my stuff back and wasn't arrested and jailed. But still I need to know what those nebishes wrote on my December 15, 2017, customs report. I need to know if they will harass me again.
