(quoting United States v. Place, 462 U.S. 696, 707 (1983)); see also Walter v. United States, 447 U.S. 649, 657 (1980) (concluding that the government's actual viewing of films implicated the Fourth Amendment because it significantly expanded upon the private party's prior search, which had involved only a visual inspection of the labels on the outside of the film boxes).
