The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. Most citizens sleep soundly knowing that no government actor can intrude into the most intimate areas of their lives without due process of law. However, what most citizens do not know is that the same protections they count on are diminished, and arguably non-existent in certain cases, at the borders of the U.S. This Article first explores constitutional limitations at the border as they relate to the search and seizure of travelers’ cell phones or other electronic devices—arguably a doorway to most citizens’ most private and intimate communications. Specifically, this Article addresses the well – settled exception to the Fourth Amendment’s protections: warrants are not required for searches of electronics at the border, even when the electronics are seized and subject to off-site forensic searches. Although federal agencies have provided guidelines instructing border patrol agents on the parameters of searches at the border, this Article argues that short of requiring a warrant to search electronics at the border, no such guidelines sufficiently protect the rights of travelers. Finally, this Article urges the Supreme Court and Congress to act immediately to prevent these gross intrusions into the private lives of travelers, preventing further violation of individual rights.
