"Newly released documents reveal how the government uses border
crossings to seize and examine travelers’ electronic devices
instead of obtaining a search warrant to take them, according to
The New York Times' Susan Stellin. The documents reveal what had
been a mostly secretive process that allows the government to
create a travel alert for a person (regardless of whether
they're a suspect in an investigation), then detain that
individual at a border crossing and confiscate or copy any
electronic devices that person is carrying. The documents come
courtesy of David House, a fund-raiser for the legal defense of
Chelsea Manning, formerly known as Pfc. Bradley Manning." Link
