CUSTOMS OFFICERS AT INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CAN SEARCH YOUR LAPTOP

SEARCH & SEIZURE - SUSPICIONLESS SEARCH OF AIRLINE PASSENGER'S LAPTOP

Customs officers at international airports may examine the electronic contents of a passenger's laptop computer without reasonable suspicion. The search here did not damage the computer and was not conducted in a "particularly offensive manner."
