U.S. filmmaker repeatedly detained at border
http://j.mp/I7pF2f (Slate)
"Poitras is now forced to take extreme steps - ones that hamper her
ability to do her work - to ensure that she can engage in her
journalism and produce her films without the U.S. Government intruding
into everything she is doing. She now avoids traveling with any
electronic devices. She uses alternative methods to deliver the most
sensitive parts of her work - raw film and interview notes - to secure
locations. She spends substantial time and resources protecting her
computers with encryption and password defenses. Especially when she
is in the U.S., she avoids talking on the phone about her work,
particularly to sources. And she simply will not edit her films at her
home out of fear - obviously well-grounded - that government agents
will attempt to search and seize the raw footage."
