March 27, 2002) Where initial search of claimant's briefcase by airport security personnel comported with the Fourth Amendment, and detention of claimant's briefcase could be justified by reasonable suspicion alone, money orders found in plain view inside briefcase, and other evidence derived from seizure of the briefcase, properly admitted; with no basis for suppression, the evidence demonstrated probable cause for forfeiture and supported jury verdict.
