   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1801
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Wollman, Circuit Judge] Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained by a warrantless seizure and forensic search of his digital devices as he was leaving O'Hare International Airport on a flight to China; the Customs and Border Protection officers had reasonable suspicion to conduct a non-routine forensic search of defendant's electronic devices and acted reasonably in doing so under the border exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement; defendant waived and forfeited his objection to the fine imposed in the case; reviewed for plain error, the district court did not commit any error, much less plain error, in imposing a $150,000 fine in the case.
