Comment on Warrantless airport seizure of laptop “cannot be justified,” judge rulesparent

Oliver North had his laptop confiscated?

Where? By warrant? Personal or work? Link?

Parent comment was making a joke: Oliver North was one of the people involved in the Iran-Contra affair illegally shipping arms to Iran in the 80s while also supporting terrorism in Nicaragua.

I was self-aware at the time. :)

I might have realized that laptops weren't in common use at the time. I remember his secretary Fawn Hall smuggled documents out in her boots for him. How old school. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawn_Hall
