Fed. Appeals Court Says Police Need Warrant to Search Phone

http://j.mp/YQOoQl  (Slashdot)

    "In a decision that's almost certainly going to result in this
     issue heading up to the Supreme Court, the Federal 1st Circuit
     Court of Appeals [Friday] ruled that police can't search your
     phone when they arrest you without a warrant. That's contrary to
     most courts' previous findings in these kinds of cases where
     judges have allowed warrantless searches through cell phones."

Yep, SCOTUS will have to deal with this now.
