Will this stop the next Border Patrol person from grabbing a laptop? Most definitely not. They can grab it, and then let the defendant wind his way through the courts. This isn't new, by the way; I remember going back all the way to Steve Jackson Games[1] that the government will seize the stuff willy-nilly, and then let you fight it out in the courts.

Violations of our basic rights will continue until there is tangible punishment for an LEO for doing so.
