DtR Episode 31 - Analyzing US vs. Cotterman (Cyber Law)

SynopsisThis timely podcast is right on the heels of the US vs. Cotterman decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. One of the watershed decisions on privacy and digital law, this is an extremely important case that touches on whether government agents can take and search your digital property while crossing the border with or without cause or suspicion. Michael and Shawn give their analysis, and we get some critical information for international business travelers, as well as those of us in the security community who regularly cross the US border with sensitive, potentially encrypted or password-protected information.Link to the original 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision: http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2013/03/08/09-10139.pdfYou're not going to want to miss this podcast.GuestsMichael Schearer ( @theprez98 ) - Security consultant and penetration tester by day, law student and hacker by night, proud Navy veteran, writer, promoter of civility in political discourse, Philadelphia and Penn State sports fanatic, practicing philomath, and last but certainly not least, Dad and Husband.
