Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously ruled that police may not search the cell phones of criminal suspects upon arrest without a warrant -- a sweeping endorsement for privacy rights. By a 9-0 vote, the justices said smart phones and other electronic devices were not in the same category as wallets, briefcases, and vehicles -- all currently subject to limited initial examination by law enforcement. Generally such searches are permitted if there is "probable cause" that a crime has been committed, to ensure officers' safety and prevent destruction of evidence." I wonder how this applies to US Customs snagging cell phones to look for pics and such. I really miss ID's input on this stuff. |

The laws that protect against unreasonable search and seizure DO NOT apply at the border - - even on the U.S. side of the point of entry - - -- and for a "reasonable distance" from the point of entry. Just figure that immigration and customs officials can do anything that they want to do when you're entering the U.S. There are very few limits on their powers at a point of entry. |

Rac, I do not doubt you at all. But where does this power actually come from? Where is it written? And please don't say Patriot Act! |

Bash...... The power for the officials to "have their way with you" at the points of entry comes from the federal statutes enacted into law by our elected representatives many years ago - - - - long before 9/11. It has been tested in the U.S. Supreme Court more than 35 years ago, and found to be a constitutionally valid exercise of federal, sovereign power at points of entry to protect us from "undesirables" who try to gain entry. |

From the CBP website: A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer's border search authority is derived from federal statutes and regulations, including 19 C.F.R. 162.6, which states that, "All persons, baggage and merchandise arriving in the Customs territory of the United States from places outside thereof are liable to inspection by a CBP officer." Unless exempt by diplomatic status, all persons entering the United States, including U.S. citizens, are subject to examination and search by CBP officers. http://www.cbp.gov/travel/cbp-search-au ... ity-search |

The personal freedom struggle goes on but the message is clear: don't have anything in the least incriminating on a device. Anything needs to go on something easily removable and readily disposable. Don't make yourself into a victim. I wish it wasn't that way but it is. |

The doctrine is known as "knocking at the door", i.e., when returning to the U.S., an American citizen is not legally "inside" the USA -- and entitled to constitutional rights and protections -- until AFTER ICE allows entrance! |

Bring up your rights and the Supreme Court when they are roto-rootering your ass in a private room in secondary. That'll get a good laugh. |
