suspicionless searches of travelers’ electronic devices by federal agents at airports and other U.S. ports of entry are unconstitutional

That's a terrific start, no kidding. Did they happen to mention suspicionless searches of travelers' crotches?

[Balding_Eagle]

Next they’ll say suspicion-less drunk driving stops are unconstitutional.

Yeah, that may take awhile

“An immigration officer at Boston Logan Airport reportedly searched an incoming Harvard freshman’s cell phone and laptop, reprimanded the student for friends’ social media postings expressing views critical of the U.S. government,”

You mean hatred for Trump and America?

America’s robed mullahs again. Extending constitutional protections to non citizens?

[Red Badger]

This is crazy. The Constitution is for American citizens, not every terrorist and criminal that wants to cross the border....................😠

[eyeamok]

This ruling significantly advances Fourth Amendment protections for millions of international travelers terrorists who enter the United States every year

This is a great day for travelers Terrorists who now can cross the international border without fear that the government will, in the absence of any suspicion, ransack the extraordinarily sensitive (Planned Terrorist Activities ) information we all carry in our electronic devices

I think this is terribly misguided, as a Guest to our Country you have Limited Rights, This will facilitate the next 911!

[Red Badger]

I hope this gets overturned in the SCOTUS!.........

This is an interesting women. It implies that a person has some level of “right” to travel into our country, and that with those rights comes the presumption of a right to privacy.

But we still seem to be allowed to force travelers to go through metal detectors, and to prohibit them from having certain items that are otherwise legal, under the guise that travel is NOT a right, it is a privilege, and we are allowed to force you to give up certain rights to obtain that privilege.

It is the same argument that allows government to require you have a “driver’s license” to drive a car, and a dog license to own a dog.

Didn't read the entire piece,,,don't know if the plaintiffs involved are US citizens or not. But if they are I can see the logic in this decision. However,I *firmly* believe that foreigners shouldn't have any real rights at our borders.If you're a foreigner trying to enter the US *EVERYHING* should be subject to search even without "reasonable suspicion".And that includes your phone and your computer.

Don't like it? Great...just don't try to enter the US and your stuff won't be searched by US officials.

[VanShuyten]

Why doesn’t this apply to all sealed or locked items that come across the border? My luggage might contain information I don’t want the Feds to see.

This will be struck down soon.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

A good start. Now shouldn’t ALL suspicionless travel be protected from illegal search and seizure.

You are stopped for a broken tail light. There is no open container in your car. No smell of pot. You are obviously stone cold sober. Yet police can pull you out of your car on the sole premise “I need to check you for weapons”. They find an empty wrapper with an almost imperceptible dusting of fine white powder — that THERE IS YOUR REASONABLE SUSPICION to search the vehicle.

Happens all the time in the current police state.

re: The ruling ... on behalf of 11 travelers whose smartphones and laptops were searched without individualized suspicion at U.S. ports of entry.”

THis is easily remedied; have INDIVIDUAL suspicions next time and - viola! The search is legal ...
