Customs and Border Protection insists that it can search electronics without a warrant. A federal judge just said it can't.

Coming from a district court, I think this ruling could be appealed, but it’s welcome news nevertheless.

    I prefer to send electronics to e-waste recycling (or reuse for some task where security doesn’t matter) rather than a landfill, but I’m with you in principle: If the authorities get it out of your possession, the hardware is compromised.
