Many places, over several decades. But this thread was about the border, which of course for Mexico is the most problematic area.
Precisely. Seems their mayor got murdered a few months back.
but it's not a 3 hour wait...

Precisely. They don't do that in free countries
Please tell me, which countries are the free ones?

Please tell me, which countries are the free ones? But do note......I didn't include in what the thug might want, your passwords.

Please tell me, which countries are the free ones? They don't do that in free countries, but if you go to Israel, I'm afraid it's becoming common practice.

The government doesn't see anything wrong in doing that.

The article specifically lays out that they don't ask for passwords. They ask the person to access his laptop and show them the emails.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/fast_track/9741639.stm

Less objectionable than demanding passwords....
My password is so long they would need to get on both knees to read it

A friend was telling me there is a program that depending on which password you give it at bootup it will
load different encrypted partitions....
TrueCrypt can do that.load different encrypted partitions....

Correction, I see it - this is slick!!!
However, in order to boot a system encrypted by TrueCrypt, an unencrypted copy of the TrueCrypt Boot Loader has to be stored on the system drive or on a TrueCrypt Rescue Disk. Hence, the mere presence of the TrueCrypt Boot Loader can indicate that there is a system encrypted by TrueCrypt on the computer. Therefore, to provide a plausible explanation for the presence of the TrueCrypt Boot Loader, the TrueCrypt helps you create a second encrypted operating system, so-called decoy operating system, during the process of creation of a hidden operating system. A decoy operating system must not contain any sensitive files. Its existence is not secret (it is not installed in a hidden volume). The password for the decoy operating system can be safely revealed to anyone forcing you to disclose your pre-boot authentication password.*
LOL...but I still like the HotCindy/Jehovah's Witness training manual method!
Anyone who takes thirty minutes to read the eighty some page Truecrypt manual will be vastly smarter about these issues than before reading it. I suggest that in lieu of reading, say....this thread....
My opinion is that creating a secure machine is highly advantageous and for multiple reasons. Yet at the same time, the biggest leaks and the most common issues are the result of users' habits, such as allowing facebook or linkedin access to a contacts list associated with email, or other access allowed to apps on android or iphone.
IANAL but I'm pretty sure you cannot be jailed for failing to do something you cannot do. Under some circumstances the burden may be on you to show that, on the balance of probabilities, you were unable to comply with their demands.
You could claim that the key file you need to decrypt the data is on an USB stick, which renders unreadable.The only thing they could do is to guess if you're lying, and where guessing comes into play (guessing here is an emotional act, not a rational one), you can get into trouble no matter if it's your fault or not.
You can still be jailed for not giving the passwords for the other accounts. Claiming "I don't know them" is not a valid defense.

Getting caught with anything digital at the border is a newbie error anyway. Use one of these services to store the (suitably encrypted) Khmer baby photos you took on your Asian holiday.

Anyhoo, police in my sate can download all your text messages if they have the whim after pulling you over. You might be hiding drug deals, even if there's no extraordinary reason to suspect it!
Of course there's reason to suspect it. You're not in a uniform, are you?
