The following excerpt is from Corngold v. United States, 367 F.2d 1 (9th Cir. 1966):
Thus, unless we say, as a matter of law, the packages searched are not, and cannot be, considered "trunks or envelopes,"12 or, that this is not geographically a "border search," despite the statutory language "wherever found" and the cases cited in the above quotation, the majority opinion is, in my opinion, in error in failing to pass on the "precise meaning" of the statute, and in relying solely, and I submit, wrongly, on Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 623, 6 S.Ct. 524, 29 L.Ed. 746 (1886).
