The US, Canada, Mexico, and other countries are secretely negotiating a treaty that would force customs officers to search all laptops, iPods, etc. for copyright infringing materials. They would likely be able to declare that it was infringing material if it was anything that you could potentially have copied: such as music or movies.
Even if you legally copied a CD you bought, you would run the risk of the customs guards destroying your laptop and then issuing you a fine.
It should be noted that at least one of the Congressmen involved with this on the US side, Howard Berman a democrat from California, has been given a lot of bribes campaign contributions from the music industry.
