To All,
It was reported last Saturday, that :
9th Circuit Appeals Court: 4th Amendment applies at the Boder; Also Password
Protected files shouldn't Arouse suspicion.
An en banc (all the judges together) decision from the 9th
Circuit has affirmed that you have the right to expect that your laptop
and other devices will not be forensically examined without suspicion at
the US border. It's the first time that a US court has upheld
electronic privacy rights at the border, and the court also said that
using an encrypted device that can't be casually searched is not grounds
for suspicion. The judges also note that the prevalence of cloud
computing means that searching at the border gives cops access to
servers located all over the world.
You may wish to search on-line for more details.
