"Similarly, ACTA’s border enforcement provisions empower member
countries to seize and destroy exports while in transit to other
countries. ACTA provides that “parties MAY exclude small quantities of
goods of a non-commercial nature contained in travelers’ personal
luggage”, so it still leaves it to countries to seize and inspect
personal devices to determine if and how much pirated material is
there; and the individual will have to bear the cost of inspection,
storage, and destruction. So anyone who rips music from the CD they
bought and transfers that ripped music onto their iPhone or
Blackberry, and then tries to carry it through the border might not
get very far. Imagine what it could do at airport screening lineups!

ACTA offers many privacy-invasive provisions, including requiring the
release of information necessary to identify an alleged infringer, and
any party who might be associated with that alleged infringer."

this reminds me of v for vendetta.... in the worst way
