A Batch of Letter-Sized Airmail Envelopes-From a Country Well Known

question 50

Multiple Choice

A batch of letter-sized airmail envelopes-from a country well known as a source of narcotics-that are bulky and much heavier than ordinary airmail letters, are stopped at the Post Office in New York. A U.S. Customs Inspector opens the letters and finds heroin. No search warrant was sought. Would this be considered an illegal search and seizure? ​

• A)Yes, because there was no probable cause to link the envelopes to any specific crime, smuggling or otherwise.
• B)No, because it constitutes a "border search" and anything crossing the border falls within this exception.
• C)No, but only because "probable cause" was not articulated and a search warrant was not obtained.
• D)No, it would only be admissible with a warrant or with consent, regardless of the border issue, since it involved the U.S. Mail.
