The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals addressed the legality of a forensic examination of a laptop seized at the U.S.-Mexico border. The court held that reasonable suspicion was required for the forensic examination of the laptop, which revealed child pornography. The decision reversed a district court's order suppressing the evidence. The court discussed the balance between border security and individual privacy rights, particularly in the context of electronic devices.
