MP3 players on the scanner with the Australian Government

Looks like the Aussi government thinks that their airport security personnel are just twiddling their thumbs and have plenty of time on their hands. Checking for vegetables and fruits or sand on your shoes is chicken feed; they want them to move on to bigger things. They want them to enter into your big bad world of technology. Expect them to complain to Santa, if you've been bad and downloaded some pirated content on your MP3 player. According to News Digital Media, certain leaked documents state that the Australian government plans to search music devices in airports in the effort to combat illegal-music downloads. The proposal is also being considered in an international treaty, which includes the United States. If the proposal goes through, anybody caught with illegal music would be subject to fines or even jail time. It is also believed that RIAA has a hand in this proposal.
