If they found an encrypted SD card, are you required to tell them your password?
Edit: ok I did some searching and the TSA can't do shit, except call a cop, if you annoy them. The cop needs a warrant to force you to decrypt, so that's not happening. A Customs Border Patrol Officer (CBPO) can force you to decrypt, on refusal can seize your shit, and arrest you, all without a warrant. Last year, around 5000 laptops were seized by customs. The difference between TSA and CBPO is like mall cop vs. FBI. Know what little remains of your rights.

You're right. International flights = your electronics could be seized without a warrant. Domestic flights should be fine. This is just my conclusion from 10 minutes of searching though, so it should be taken with a grain of salt.
