Is it a rumor or is there a legal requirement that you must have some battery juuce left (in your laptop iirc) in order to cross US or UK borders? I remember this as an answer to "sorry, can't fire up my device I'm out of battery".

I've seen it happen when flying back to the US through Germany. There was random additional searches at the gate for select passengers. The guy next to me could not get his laptop to turn on as it was out of juice. He was told either he finds / buys a charger or the laptop is not flying with him on the plane.

I don't see how they can ever enforce that. Also, if they really want they can plug the device in and make you log in I guess?
