9th Circuit: Customs Can Rummage Through Your Laptop

With respect to these searches, the Supreme Court has
refused to draw distinctions between containers of informa-

purposes of determining the appropriate level of Fourth
Amendment protection. Arnold’s analogy to a search of a
home based on a laptop’s storage capacity is without merit.
