United States Ninth Circuit

In a Fourth Amendment dispute arising from a 10-count indictment against defendant on various child pornography charges, judgment of the district court suppressing evidence discovered during a search of the defendant's luggage by TSA agents is reversed, where the court erroneously found that agents exceeded the scope of a routine administrative search by engaging in an unauthorized investigatory search for contraband.
