• holding that, where justifications for supervised release apply to search 4 condition, independent justification of the search condition is unnecessary
• concluding that, even if the district court failed to expressly articulate reasons for special conditions of supervised release, any error is harmless because the reasons were ʺself‐evident in the recordʺ
• explaining that a “diminished expectation of privacy . . . is inherent in the very term supervised release” (internal quotation marks omitted) (emphasis in original)
• noting that an individual on supervised release has a ʺdiminished expectation of privacy that is inherent in the very term ʹsupervised releaseʹʺ
• adding that “the issue here is distinctly a matter of fact beyond the prescience of this court”
• observing that unless a probation officer is allowed to search all of the data on a computer, the supervisee could “store huge amounts of illicit data” there
