That is the lineup for the Supreme Court decision today in Arizona v. Gant, which limits the search incident to an arrest exception when the police want to search an automobile passenger area. See the entry by Orin Kerr in The Volokh Conspiracy. More later.
See the AP's "Supreme Court limits warrantless vehicle searches" via the Washington Post.
