This is a very different reading of yours ... and there are enough cases - especially of digital equipment search - and this is what we are discussing here, which were dismissed. In the case you quote there was "no probable cause for the presence of aliens". The judgement was mostly put upon this argument. In case of digital equipment there is always a probability to have something illegal in the eyes of the US, which means that the the exception for Ammendment 4 will be granted, as seen in cases like Abidor vs Napolitano. So while I consider it great that the judges in the case you mentioned have decided in this way, I don't think this is the *norm* and we - those travelling to the US - have to be aware of that. Speak, disk image on secure server, entering with clean hd, fetching hd image outside the 100mi border, etc etc ...
