    Laptop Searches at Airports Raises Privacy Questions

    TSA agents' search of air travelers' laptops is under scrutiny by the US Senate. The search of air travelers' luggage is routine, while the search of electronic devices is not.

The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing Laptop Searches and Other Violations of Privacy Faced by Americans Returning from Overseas Travel explored the issue.
