Techdirt: Homeland Security Continues To Expand Border Searches: Now Can Copy Your Paper-Based Documents
Techdirt reports: "Now, the EFF has discovered, thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request, that it's not just computer data that DHS wants to copy. Last year, it quietly changed its policies to allow customs and border guards to read and copy any personal papers the traveler has, even without 'reasonable suspicion' or 'probable cause.'"

Comment: Is it reasonable to say that just by crossing a border and without any other probably cause, you open up your computer, phone, or PDA to a search by law enforcement? This does not seem reasonable to me. This is an important question because the law has always held the "reasonableness test" as an important test that establishes a benchmark of community standards. Let's hope a court somewhere will decide this practice violates that standard.
