EFF to Fourth Circuit: Electronic Device Searches at the Border Require a Warrant
Summary
The article from EFF argues that border searches of electronic devices should require a warrant, urging the Fourth Circuit to apply a uniform standard for both manual and forensic searches. It leverages Riley v. California and historical border-search cases (Kolsuz, Aigbekaen) to advocate for judicial oversight, and notes rising counts of device searches by CBP to underscore privacy concerns.
