Arnold has failed to distinguish how the search of his laptop and its electronic contents is logically any different from the suspicionless border searches of travelers’ luggage that the Supreme Court and we have allowed.

This is a sort of ignorance that allows the court to reach a comfortable decision without addressing the substantive question...
My rant on today's decision.
