I suggest that you go back and re-read that court dicision. It does not say what you have posted.
First, currently the decision only affects the 9th Circuit it does not apply nation-wide.
Second, it is a decision that affects Forensic examination of devices. That type of exam happens after the device has been seized and generally happens away from the POE days later. It does not mean that a search that does not involve a Forensic examination cannot be performed by the officer at the POE. That type of search still does not require a warrant.
