This way you have the plausible deniability of having "nothing" on you laptop when crossing into Canada. The Canadian Border Nazis also insist that ANY music or movie is illegally copied and can & will confiscate you laptop. This program protects you from them - good luck and be polite as they are only following orders.; Like this Reply to this comment

As far as Canadian borders go... US is as bad / worse http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/82561/can_us_customs_search_seize_your_laptop.html; Like this Reply to this comment

tvhungsg, you can download it it by clicking the TruCrypt link just under wher it says "Posted by..." and then click the download link.; Like this Reply to this comment
