Even at Customs (assuming you are a US national) you have the right to remain silent, and you need not answer any questions put to you. Asking to call your lawyer invokes your right to counsel; they must stop questioning you. Also, in any interaction with law enforcement, politely decline to consent to a search. If they take your laptop, well, you do have a backup of your data, don't you?
