Newseum
I attended an industry event in Washington, DC tonight, hosted at the Newseum. The over 640,000 square foot space is an almost overwhelmingly comprehensive interactive museum dedicated to the impact that free speech and “the news” have had on the formation of America. From the architecture to the experience, it’s remarkable.
The museum’s official website is disappointing, to say the least, and doesn’t convey the experience accurately at all. Don’t let that dissuade you. If you’re a news junkie like me and find yourself in the nation’s capital, do make a point to visit.

Travelers' Laptops May Be Detained At Border
Federal agents may take a traveler’s laptop or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed.
Also, officials may share copies of the laptop’s contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16 and issued by two DHS agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
That’s just swell.
