My comments:

What a terrible ruling. Flores-Montano was not a general ruling about all different kinds of property. It was specifically about GAS TANKS. Generally speaking, people have gasoline in their gas tanks. The personal privacy implications associated with searching gas tanks are minimal.

It is a MASSIVE logical leap to go from the idea that a search of a gas tank is OK to the idea that any search of any collection of personal records no matter now how invasive must also be OK. For this huge logical step to be taken with so little consideration - hardly a mention in a footnote and only because the dissent prompted it - well, these are obviously people who are rationalizing their way to a desired result rather than objectively and thoroughly considering the serious issues that they herein decide.

Shameful.

I want to add that the sort of thinking here - that "If we've etablished that its OK to search a gas tank than we must also agree that its OK to search a laptop." - is exactly the sort of logical progression that George Orwell wrote about in Animal Farm.
