ACLU is Suing the Government for Info About TSA Device Searches

Flying sucks enough as it is, but a Transportation Security Administration employee deciding to root around in your laptop or cellphone can make it even worse. This practice of searching electronic devices has been going on for years at international airports, but this was limited to travelers flying in and out of the US. Recently there has a large uptick in the number of devices searched by Customs and Border Protection agents: Last year, CBP officials searched 30,000 devices, up from just 5,000 in 2015.
