The government and NCMEC got a tip of defendant\u2019s potential purchasing of child pornography through Xoom, a money transferring company, and Yahoo! working together. Defendant was flagged as a potential child pornography should he travel overseas. He arrived in Atlanta from Europe on December 21, 2014 and some of his electronics were searched, finding nothing. A laptop was held for further forensic testing, and on January 6, 2015, child pornography was found. A search warrant was obtained for defendant\u2019s house based on that. There was reasonable suspicion for detaining the laptop as a border search. United States v. Touset, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 31666 (N.D.Ga. March 11, 2016), R&R 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 31502 (N.D.Ga.
