This seems more like a Fourth Amendment issue, pertaining to unreasonable 
search and seizure. It's also a Customs and Border Patrol policy that has 
been in place since 2009, although implemented with increasing frequency 
in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Given that the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University is 
exploring this topic, is this CPB practice considered a First Amendment 
violation? If so, what's the specific legal argument?
