A decision by Judge Edward Korman upholding the federal government’s right to search travelers’ electronic devices at or near the border conflicts with a similar ruling in California. That ruling requires a ‘reasonable suspicion’ of criminal activity before agents can confiscate and examine personal photos, laptops and files. Korman’s ruling does not.”
