Hi there,

According to the US Customs and Border Protection Policy document it appears that search and seizure at border/immigration centers does not apply directly to sealed letter class mail; and documents inside sealed letter class mail may not be read by officers without a appropriate search warrant.

How about mailing yourself a USB drive with encrypted data and taking that along for the trip.

they worry about exports as well...

In fairness, though, many countries reserve the right to search
