EFF, ACLU Sue Over Warrantless Phone, Laptop Searches at U.S. Border
I hope this one goes to the Supreme Court, as that's the only place this will be resolved. Otherwise, U.S. Criminal Law is clear: searches and seizures at the border are exempt from requirements for warrants or probable cause.<p>Multiple circuit courts have upheld the Government's right to do this, and that this right extends to electronic files and information. Only the Ninth has disagreed (<i>United States v. Cotterman</i>).
