Traveler sues US Customs and Border Protection over iPhone search and seizure
Good.Ultimately, the invasiveness of this sort of search is not worth the slim chance that something of legal interest may be discovered.  Criminals have free reign to "import" data via the Internet already, so they're just going to go that route most of the time.  If you suspect someone of a crime, get a warrant, and then have your customs officer seize the device.  But the "we're just checking to make sure you're not doing anything illegal" is antithetical to the freedoms the United States guarantees, and should not be tolerated at the border... at least when the stakes are this low.I hope this case sees trial and the judge understands how to weigh the invasiveness against the possible benefits.
