I'm from "such a country", Bosnia. though, I don't think there is such a 
law, in any country. it's about morons they take the law in their hands 
and behave as "lawmakers".
recently I visited my parent there with two laptops and two netbooks. 
half was mine and half presents. all security officers in every country 
was laughing at me. I was lucky none stopped me questioning.

I don't think there is law in Israel saying "kill any suspected laptop 
with 3 shots. if OS is linux - 4 shots. if visitor is carrying desktop  
- kill the case leave the monitor"
