When a business traveler carries sensitive data, ethical, legal, and logistical problems can become problematic. Organizations, their employees, and government agents all have important duties with respect to this information if and when it's seized at the border. These competing duties are complex and difficult. The authors suggest that avoiding this situation altogether is the best option.
