At all borders, including the U. S. border for U. S. citizens, your rights (including the fourth amendment) are basically out the window. Border agents can take your devices, clone them, and take steps to compel you for system passwords and encryption passwords.

How's Your Bracket Doing?
I've been doing NCAA men's basketball tourney bracketology for many years. And this is the most unpredictable year I've ever seen. While I still have 3 of my final 4 alive, my picked champion Michigan State is history! It is fun to watch so called mid-majors beating the sol called majors!

Don't Mix Business & Personal
What can you do to avoid mixing business with personal usage?
When it comes to socially engaging online with coworkers, think carefully before you invite all of your coworkers to be your friends online. Consider exactly what information you want to share with them versus what you want to keep private.
In the end, when faced with the temptation to combine personal and business accounts for social, managerial, or any other reasons, draw a clear line and keep them separate.

Don't Mix Business and Personal
Just like individuals, organizations are creating a strong presence online. Whether it is Facebook, Amazon, eBay, or another, businesses are leveraging a lot of the same services that individuals use. If you're like most people, you probably tie your accounts to your e-mail for notifications, management, and the like. When your company is in need of one of those online services, it's all too easy to leverage your personal account for business purposes.
Privacy and risk are two very important issues that arise when personal and business accounts are connected. For privacy, the demarcation between your individual privacy versus company rights is blurred when accounts are comingled. From a risk standpoint, the amount of useful information to leverage for a targeted attack (against you or your company) can increase dramatically. The fallout from such an attack against a personal account tied to one at the office can have serious ramifications for your organization.
A third issue tied to the first two is connecting with coworkers socially. Doing so creates added context about your for attackers, and it also gives your collegues and your company an invited look into your personal online life.
