I’m not aware of any international restrictions against encryption pertaining to this article.

There are different penalties for transporting encrypted data across international boundaries depending on the method of delivery, (email, ftp, data hand carried), type of data (harmless wedding photos, applications, documents) and type of encryption. Every country will have it’s own laws and guidelines on what is acceptable to transport and how. The laws constantly change and it is your own responsibility to know the laws and to pay the penalty for disobeying them. Ignorance of the law will be no excuse, breaking these laws will at a minimum cause your laptop to be searched and a maximum of winding you up in a jail or prison. Protect yourself!

Glad these tips help – wish they weren’t necessary (against governments) but unfortunately privacy is often disregarded by them.

I am going to be flying in March, and wanted to take better control of this after events of late. I don’t have a whole lot I care about being private that isn’t already stored elsewhere, but a few things.

I knew you’d have the answers 🙂
