They were laughing at having 20terabytes of video. Thats really not that much. In large storage arrays a typical cabinet will have 8 to 10 drive chassis with 15- one tb drives each, times 3 to 10 cabinets. (1500 tb easy).
Of course remember to comply to the letter of the law only. Don't give them your boot password or login password. You can always say that you're not the corporate systems administrator and you don't have the passwords and that the admin will reset them when you get home. IF they question you its a protection scheme where the passwords are scrambled before transit to keep the data from being compromised should the unit be lost or stolen when traveling internationally. Get hard drive encryption that's mated to your hardware. Its a third level of passwords. If the drive is removed it is unusable. Plus you can keep your data on an encrypted USB drive and put it in your checked baggage before you board(its not on your person) Or even better get a notebook with easily removable hard drives. Keep one with DOS and wordperfect 5.1 for travel(and still keep it locked and encrypted just to make them work for it) and then put your regular one in checked baggage or FedEx it to your home location.
They say its to stop terrorist from bringing terrorist data that's a load of BS they're looking for movie and music pirates, pederasts, and tax cheats. Terrorists use google apps, net meeting and webkinz to communicate, they should look at that.
She's going to be some rich guys trophy wife. Not a first place trophy mind you, more like that trophy they give all the kids for showing up to bowling practice.
Me and my 2 brothers would put the cat in the dryer and watching him spin, then we figured out it was much more fun to put my littlest brother in and let him spin (he did have a football helmet on). Then we figured out that for a dime we could go to the big commercial dryers at the laundramat leave the door open, jam a pencil in the switch and ride for almost an hour (2 people at a time no less). This was our astronaut training program (The Apollo program was in full swing then) We would ride for an hour then have Tang and Spacefood Sticks and go for a swim - after splashdown.

The cat was very relieved (for a while at least).
