Boing Boing - The Fourth Circuit appeals court has held that it is unconstitutional
for US border officials to subject visitors' devices to forensic searches
without individualized suspicion of criminal wrongdoing.
The Fourth Circuit didn't rule out the possibility that manual searches
were also unconstitutional, but did not rule on the matter, and the
ruling also suggests that warrants may be needed before border guards
can undertake forensic searches of electronic devices.
