The headline is misleading, and I shouldn't be surprised that techdirt didn't explore the language being used: > After considering all of the facts and authorities set > forth above, then, the Court finds, under the totality of > the unique circumstances of this case, that the imaging > and search of the entire contents of Kim’s laptop, aided > by specialized forensic software, for a period of > unlimited duration and an examination of unlimited scope, > for the purpose of gathering evidence in a pre-existing > investigation, was supported by so little suspicion of > ongoing or imminent criminal activity, and was so > invasive of Kim’s privacy and so disconnected from not > only the considerations underlying the breadth of the > government’s authority to search at the border, but also > the border itself, that it was unreasonable. Unless I'm reading it wrong, this is a very narrow ruling that can't really be used as precedent for other situations. In this one unique case, DHS was told they were not justified in their actions. There's nothing in this language that says other seizures, in other circumstances, are not acceptable.
