I am sure people get into fistfights with cops over their address books,
too. I'm not advocating giving oneself up, I am merely reporting what
has so far been held to be legal activity by cops regarding things
analogous to PDAs as they exist today.
Integrate it with your pacemaker, "organify" it, and I would expect it's
a different deal. I already said as much.
But today, in the US, once you are under arrest, police powers to search
you and separate you from your possessions goes way up. I can't speak
about other countries.
