Last year a woman artist who made giant cozies to cover objects was detained at the Canadian border. They found drawings of an SUV coverered with material (the cozy) and decided it was an attempt to commit industrial espionage. (????).

It too her sevral hours to convince them no crime was being committed.

Even if he faked his death, it's unlikely he would have survived two autopsies.

OT:

Heads up, Michael Jackson might have faked his death. I have the video, taped from an early morning CNN broadcast (which has not since been repeated) that purports to prove it.

If this is true, this is big.

I'm also kind of curious as to what the legal ramifications could be, if any.

Andrew, in those circumstances, the documents would not be admissible. At least, that's what the consequences should be. It's not a voluntary disclosure by my client, so it's not a waiver. Though a creative Deputy District Attorney out in San Bernardino did once try to argue otherwise. He asserted that when the police -- sent by him -- searched my client's house and seized communications with me, the attorney-client privilege had been "burst." That was creative.

What are the consequences of flying with confidential papers? Do you have to worry about attorney-client privilege if you fly somewhere?

Put it another way, if the TSA took your case binder away from you, photocopied it, and faxed the copies to the prosecutor's office, what would happen?
