---- What's in a Laptop? Court Ponders Legality of Border Searches Is 
your laptop a fancy piece of luggage or an extension of your mind? The 
question, before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, arose from the 
prosecution of Michael Timothy Arnold, an American citizen whose laptop 
was randomly searched in July 2005 at Los Angeles International Airport 
as he returned from a three-week trip to the Philippines. Agents booted 
the computer and began opening folders on the desktop, where they found 
a picture of two naked women, continued searching, then turned up what 
the government says is child pornography.
