Does that case apply to CBP? CBP has the authority to make arrests. It seems illogical that a citizen would have more protections after an arrest than before an arrest. Also, IANAL.
If you bring the device through the border, CBP can search it. If CBP arrests you at the border, they can still search your device. You don't get greater rights if you're arrested at the border.
