I'm not that familiar with our own anti-terrorism laws in the UK and I suspect that we have the power to confiscate anything if reasonable suspicion is there. But of course, one can always trump up a case of reasonable suspicion, so maybe the US policy of no requirement of suspicion is just a little more honest?

Thoughts?
I'm in an out of the US all the time and I carry:

1 Laptop
Multiple flash drives
Ipod
Blackberry
Pretty much any book I want
Pretty much any document I want

I used to carry a knife, in my pocket until the slimy terrorist hit the WTC, and then checked in my bag along with my razors, but now this knife is actually illegal in the UK (it has a locking blade) so I just leave it at home.

The Telegraph is not know of its honesty with regards to the US.
