If you thought that the new laptop search rules were baloney, then this new proposal will really anger you.

Members of the G8 plan to meet in Tokyo in July to discuss a new measure that will turn customs agents into copyright inspectors/police who’ll have the authority to take a closer look at your iPod or other electronic device.

The proposal is dubbed the "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement" (ACTA) and will give customs agents the power to levy fines and seize equipment.

I’m not entirely sure how a customs agent plans to determine that the content on my iPod is illegal, but I can’t say I care for the direction this is heading, as more big brother tactics at the airport won’t help anyone.
