I’ve worked in IT Security for a number of Fortune 500 companies and saw a guy get fired because he brought his work laptop from the U.S. to China (over a year ago).
This was because there have been documented cases where, at Customs in the airport, government workers can take the laptop, quickly image it, and give it back to you without you ever knowing and they now have a copy of your device.
