I read this thread before I returned home and I decided to delete a lot of photos (screenshots from hornet) and store my stuff in a true crypt partition to avoid any problems.
I arrived yesterday from TL at washington and and was met at customs by 2 DHS agents who drove from Pennsylvania to follow up on a flagged kiddy porn person (me). they said my travel pattern, single male in thailand (and other places) met the profile. long story short, they have my phone, computer, camera, sd drives. they said (if I gave them passwords and nothing was found) I would have them back in a week.
to my knowledge I have no illegal material, but I cannot prove against the court standard described which is "what a jury thinks". I was not in TL to find sex with underage people. my best time was with a 44 year old. now all my memories of this trip will be destroyed by this event and the coming entanglements. regardless of the outcome, entanglement with our bureaucracy is never fun or good for your life. I will doubtless be subject to future searches and be on the watchlist forever.
