They then opened the "Kodak Memories" folder and found ADULT pornography, which they claimed in court in turn gave them the "reasonable suspicion" needed to search his entire hard drive.

The court found that (quite obviously) there is nothing a reasonable person would find suspicious about either having a folder named "Kodak Memories" or being a male between 20-59. Secondly, they found that there is nothing inherently suspicious about having adult porn either.

But they did not just open the "Kodak" folder and find child porn as the quote you posted suggests. The child porn was found after a lengthy (and illegal) search.
