Hello! Good day! I am hired in a hospital in Riyadh.. I wanted to ask if are they going to check the laptops and cellphones once we arrived in the airport of Saudi.. I am in a dilemma if i am going to erase my pictures with my boyfriend and the movies that i've downloaded. My pictures with my boyfriend are decent, don't get me wrong.. I've also attended PDOS ( Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar) but the trainer said to erase any pornographic or sexy and nude photos. Please do answer my question.. Please do help me.

Occasionally Saudi Police will check it.. Pornos are prohibited in most countries.... just save it in your email if you have it....

I guess you are being paranoid; cuz of being bombared with too much of information. Just take it easy and keep it simple. No one will bother you.
