Bringing in electronics - are they subject to search?
If I go to Qatar I'll be bringing my laptop, thumb drive, and terrabyte drive with me. How extensively will they be searched, and what is the search procedure? Am I permitted to be present? What kinds of files are objectionable - other than pornographic videos and photographs, that is. I know about those (and I don't have any). I write, and some of what I write is occasionally violent and explicit, and I don't want to see my stories deleted. I also don't want to lose my extensive music library or any of my games.
Like I'm going to say it now, Aikon :P
usually there is no check / random check on laptop.
but since you've inform me. i will make an exception. we will do check on your laptop.
what time and when will your flight arrived ?
from canada, right ?
no worries no one will check your stuff...
they only scan for booze thats all they want to confiscate.
have been in and out all the time with my gears and never been asked..
Never had my laptop, CDs or thumb disk searched in airport...I don't think they check everyone, may be only if suspicious.
