David House took his laptop to Mexico a little over a year ago, hoping to squeeze in some work between sightseeing, fishing, and laying on the beach. All went well, vacation- and work-wise, until the former MIT researcher landed in Chicago, where federal agents seized his laptop, kept it for nearly two months, and may have shared information on his hard drive with several government agencies.
They didn’t have a search warrant. They didn’t charge him with a crime. And there was nothing House could do about it.
House, 24, ran into what civil liberties advocates call the “Constitution-free zone’’ at US ports of entry, where courts have carved out broad exceptions to the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. As long as they don’t use invasive techniques such as strip searches, government agents don’t need reasonable suspicion or probable cause to seize what they want - including laptops, a 2008 appeals court ruling held.
Wie das Nachrichtenmagazin “Der Spiegel” vorab berichtet, ermitteln Kölner Fahnder gegen einen Beamten der Bundespolizei aus Frankfurt am Main. Der Mann habe demnach seiner Tochter einen Trojaner auf den Rechner gespielt, um ihr Treiben im Internet zu überwachen. Die Tochter habe allerdings einen Freund aus der Hacker-Szene gehabt, dem die Spionage auffiel.
Um es dem neugierigen Vater heimzuzahlen, sei der Hacker in dessen Computer eingedrungen. Dort sah er, dass der Polizist dienstliche Mails an seinen Privatrechner umgeleitet hatte. Das ebnete dem Hacker den Weg ins Innere der Bundespolizei. Als Folge des Angriffs musste der “Patras”-Server abgeschaltet werden, über den die Polizei Verdächtige observiert.

He said there was a high bar for something to be considered a human right. You have to deal with things like freedom from torture or freedom of conscience before you get to things like an internet connection.
Putting technology into this exalted category makes things difficult over time too, he says. Once, if you lacked a horse, it was hard to make a living. But if it was everyone's right to have a horse then it would be pretty silly today, he reasons.
It is better to talk about critical freedoms like freedom of speech and freedom of access to information which are not necessarily bound to any particular technology at any particular time.
