  a. Yes, because there was no probable cause to link the envelopes to any specific crime; smuggling or not.
  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 nor was a search warrant obtained.
  d. No, it would only be admissible with a warrant or with consent, regardless of the border issue, since itinvolved the U.S. Mail.
