9th Circuit Appeals Court: 4th Amendment Applies At The Border; Also:
Password Protected Files Shouldn't Arouse Suspicion
http://j.mp/X55bAB (Techdirt)
"In a somewhat surprising 9th Circuit ruling (en banc, or in front of
the entire set of judges), the court ruled that the 4th Amendment does
apply at the border, that agents do need to recognize there's an
expectation of privacy, and cannot do a search without reason.
Furthermore, they noted that merely encrypting a file with a password
is not enough to trigger suspicion. This is a huge ruling in favor of
privacy rights."
