2. “- Chandler's bag was ... seized directly from Chandler's possession,. The bag was not merely immobilized at the. point of seizure. Rather, it was transported a significant distance from the airport to the Ketchikan police station. The police mitigated the intrusiveness of this 90-plus minute . detention by telling Chandler where they were taking his bag, their purpose in taking it, the approximate length of time that it would be held, and how Chan«dler could reclaim it. [But though] such measures might make the difference in a borderline case, they do not convert the kind of seizure that occurred here into a brief, minimally intrusive detention of property. We conclude that the warrant, less seizure required probable cause.”
