The following part of this classic (2009) article caught my eye:
> Symantec’s CTO Mark Bregman was recently advised by "three-letter agencies in the US Government" to use separate laptop and mobile device when traveling to China, citing potential hardware-based compromise.
It is strange how much this changed after the Snowden relevations. In Europe, now you get that same advice when travelling to the US.

Doesn't prevent hardware compromise though, but at least it won't compromise my daily driver. Even US companies advise their overseas employees to be careful and thoughtful as to what you bring with you, b/c of what can happen at the border: https://github.com/basecamp/handbook/blob/master/international-travel-guide.md#company-security-at-the-border https://github.com/basecamp/handbook/blob/master/internation...
