Comment on What happens if authorities seize your laptop?parent

Are you sure it was searched (indexed or imaged) rather than just checked (powered on and/or checked for hidden contraband)?

It all comes down to semantics, doesn't it?

It wasn't imaged or indexed but the officer sat down and looked through it for quite some time.

I think you asked people what they thought the 1000 searches consisted of, they would include a CBP officer going through the contents of a laptop as a "search".
