“without knowing which photographs of nude children Andrade saw, the probable cause determination cannot be supported unless all of these photographs constitute child pornography — if only some of the photographs of nude children are child pornography, the court has no way of knowing whether Andrade initially saw those photographs as opposed to the photographs that are not child pornography.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“4-5.

A portion of the boy's pubic area is visible in both photographs. 6. Color photograph of the same boy in the same location as Plaintiff's Exhibits 4-5, but reaching for clothing.

1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[t]he court cannot conclude ... that the search of the Travel Pro bag was limited to ensuring that it did not pose a safety risk. Rather, the testimony evidences that the TSA employees, at some point, clearly exceeded the scope of their administrative search and began to search for evidence of child pornography.”
