I'm only going by the image I get from the news and tv shows. They give a very restricted impression, controlling what people can say etc. The nipplegate is one good example - it takes a very conservative society to even begin to worry about such minor details. It is fully possible that I have a completely wrong impression on many things. You only need to think about visiting your country and immediately you get hit with a host of limitations and lack of rights, for example your memory sticks and computer contents may get scanned through at the airport even if you're not a suspected felon. One simple but very invasive example where you guys lack the right for privacy.

 The only reason why  your memory sticks or computer is even scanned at the airport is because they're looking for any kind of explosive device I'm pretty sure that's the way all airports are all over the world now since 9/11, our mainstream media is very biased to one political side only a couple news stations actually take on all the hard questions which all news media should be doing.  that's all I'm going to say on that topic here. I just don't want to get in trouble lol

I'm obviously not talking about x-ray scans. By law you're required to subject your IT devices for CONTENT scans IIRC.

 If there's nothing to hide then its no big deal now is it? Don't get me wrong I don't think it should be allowed due to the illegal search and seizure laws but the world isn't what it used to be. I guess those are the liberties you have to give up if you want to fly in today's world.

Would you want your private photos, business secrets etc. to be scanned by the random customs officer? I wouldn't. The biggest risk is that a foreigner may have data on his computer which is perfectly legal in his country but not in yours. So you may get in trouble without knowing anything is wrong.
