This happened to me at airports in Israel and Germany. I am a US citizen and was not in any category of suspicion. This happens with US airport security too. I was dumb back then and did not encrypt my drive. They did ask me to boot up the laptop first probably to ensure it wasn't encrypted. If this ever happens to me again, I will refuse to decrypt the drive.
