WaPo: Is credit card skimming a Fourth Amendment search?

WaPo: Is credit card skimming a Fourth Amendment search? by Orin Kerr:

In United States v. Bah, [posted here] decided July 24th, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit handed down the first circuit ruling on whether skimming a credit card — swiping the card through a magnetic reader to find out the number and name stored inside — is a Fourth Amendment search. The court ruled that the answer is “no.” I think that’s wrong, and that the answer should be “yes.”
