Backups are especially important when travelling internationally

Customs agents are pretty much able to demand to confiscate your laptop computer and copy all the data. You could encrypt it, but then they'll demand a password. How can you protect yourself?

Block your data from yourself. Make it so your spouse or priest or doctor can unlock your computer, but you can't.

Clever strategy. I wish I had information that mattered enough to me that it was worth that much protection.
