This business of customs people snooping laptop files
is pretty annoying. Do they also look in each of the
physical file folders in a businesswoman's briefcase
to see if there's a copy of Playgirl in there?

Rather than all these schemes about renaming files or
replacing them with innocuous ones, I suppose if I were
interested in putting something over on the inspectors
I'd just temporarily remove LILO from my laptop and let
it boot automatically into the totally benign Win95
partition instead of my insidious crypto-rich Linux
partition. I think it unlikely that their inspection
would notice an unused partition.
