Australian Customs Laptop Inspections

From the GMA:

Australian Customs Laptop Inspections

We have been informed that Australian Customs in ADL have been conducting searches of crew members’ laptops for illegal or indecent material. Several crew members from Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines are being held in custody following inspections of their personal laptop computers.

If you are operating to any Australian port and are planning to bring your personal computer and/or mobile phone, check to make sure they contain no illegal material. Such material comprises illegally downloaded mp3 or videos files, or pornography.
So just for fun, I googled a bit and found this:

Having child porn on one's laptop is quite different than having a few MP3s or a TV show, is it not? Surely even an Australian customs officer would agree...
