There are a lot of courts out there, so to save others the trouble, this ruling is from the US District Court of the Eastern District of New York.


So it wont apply if im going to other places of eeuu?


It's more a matter of how high up the decision was made--as far as I know, they're doing hunch-based searches at all borders (or close enough to make it seem that way). This is only the first step of the inevitable appeals. If memory serves, and it has been a long time since I studied court procedure, the next step is the district court of appeals, then perhaps an en banc review, then the Supreme Court. I'm going on memory here, though, so corrections/clarification from actual lawyers would be welcome.
