South African Airport Customs

Dekryptor

Hi, I am unfamiliar with the South African Customs/Airport Security. I will be visiting SA and I will be carrying with me my laptop and my external drive. My question is will they check the contents of my laptop and my hard drive? Thank you guys in advance for any info you might share.

Regards,

Dekryptor

In addition to my previous post, if they will check the contents of the devices, I want to know what would they be looking for so I can delete it before I get there.

Hi. They do not check the context of your computer, you will have to take your computer out of the bag and then it will be exrayed, but that is it.
