Abstract

The article discusses the issue of border searches of electronic devices in the United States. It explains that U.S. citizens may be subject to searches of their laptops and smartphones when entering the country, even without probable cause or a warrant. The article highlights that the number of these searches has increased in recent years, and while some courts have upheld the legality of these searches, others have required a warrant. The article also raises concerns about the protection of attorney-client privilege during these searches and calls for clearer policies to safeguard privileged materials.
