Federal Court Rules Suspicionless Searches of Travelers’ Phones and Laptops Unconstitutional Union
In a major victory for privacy rights, a federal court in Boston today ruled that the government’s suspicionless searches of international travelers’ smartphones and laptops at airports and other U.S. ports of entry violate the Fourth Amendment.
This will go back and forth, but I hope this interpretation holds. It feels very un-American to have your devices searched at the airport.
