I have taken my Thinkpad through a couple of times and it has had FreeBSD or Debian + LUKS on it. Most of the time the people that have problems are arrogant.

I have taken my Thinkpad through a couple of times and it has had FreeBSD or Debian + LUKS on it. Most of the time the people that have problems are arrogant. I see people trying to lecture agents and other oneupman-ship, you win nothing from this. If you are polite, and maybe even act a bit clueless no one will bother you.

That's good advice. I haven't gone through U.S. customs but I have been through Canadian and European customs, and both times the people at the border were very polite (they did have a dog sniffing my luggage, but nothing beyond that). The chance of them making trouble is small, but I would try to implement some measure others suggested just in case (having a Windows dual-boot or something).
