To the extent these are used in war zones ... sounds like a good idea.

To the extent they are used in the United States, you’d better have a warrant or probable cause. This isn’t the same thing as law enforcement looking in a car window (which is legal). This is an invasive search.

Do such legal safeguards exist at our borders?

I have no problem with the US Gov’t using this technology in a ‘no man’s land’ area between Mexico and the USA.

Yep. This isn’t plain view and violates reasonable expectation of privacy.

Indeed.

I dare them to bring a case to trial based on evidence from one of these rigs.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
