Former Mozilla CTO Andreas Gal has filed a complaint against US customs agents for aggressive interrogation and demanding the passcodes for his phones and laptops and denying him access to an attorney. His expedited Global Entry status was revoked for allegedly refusing to comply with the search. Andreas and the ACLU are requesting an investigation into the incident. He works for Apple these days.

    See how they like it.
    Strip search in front of everyone at the airport Mr Bush?
    Search and seizure of your phones and computers Ms Clinton?

    What would happen if important people were harassed in the same way normal people are?

    Do you think your Congressman takes off his shoes and belt for a TSA groping? Do you think he even stands in line?
