Interesting. Thanks for the link! I didn't hear about that one before.

Seizing a journalist’s phones provides the government access to private sources and years of protected newsgathering. Allowing political pressure to determine whose protected electronic devices the government may search would pose a profound threat to the free press and the Constitution.

Indeed.
