The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol announced new restrictions on when
agents can copy data from digital devices at border crossing points.



Agents now need “reasonable suspicion” in advance of searches of phones,
computers, tablets, cameras or any other digital device belonging to people
entering or leaving the United States. Border agents will also be

The new guidance published (PDF) on Friday update existing rules introduced
in 2009 regarding “advanced” searches that can be conducted at random and
without warrant.
