This is insane. They took the Mayor's laptop and phone, held him hostage at the airport until he gave passwords, and then kept all his devices for a couple days.

They can copy all the data off your cell phone with a forensic scanning device quickly now over usb http://thenextweb.com/us/2011/04/20/us-police-can-copy-your-iphones-contents-in-under-two-minutes/ If they had his devices for 2 days, they created complete copies of all his systems to dig through, and stored them for future use against him.

This is why you should use encryption.

and you will be forced to hand over your encryption password as well? Use ToolWiz Time Freeze on your computer anything important put it in a private encrypted cloud or carry an hidden USB key

That is why you use Truecrypt, and have multiple containers. One with regular junk for the snoops, and one with your stuff in it they cannot detect.

Never heard of toolwiz. It is an interesting idea, but it's not open source and they don't even answer tech support questions posted on their own forum http://forums.toolwiz.com/viewforum.php?f=7&sid=d246f10618937cdd47a1cd6fbd7b8239
