‘Keeping our borders secure apparently means allowing federal agents to delve as deeply as they want into electronics that cross the border, even if it’s someone who just went to Mexico on vacation. Presumably, David House wasn’t a threat to national security when he left for Mexico, but by the time he landed at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, he was. House worked with the Bradley Manning Support Network and this was all the ‘evidence’ ICE needed to alert DHS agents that House would be returning from Mexico through Chicago — and the wide-open policy on electronic searches was all the agents needed to seize and search House’s phone and laptop.”
