ORDER AND MEMORANDUM**

This case is resubmitted as of March 30, 2004.

Customs inspectors recovered 35 vacuum-sealed packages containing 68 pounds of marijuana from defendant De La Mora-Arvide’s vehicle’s gas tank. The defendant argued that the disassembly of his *169gas tank was a “non-routine” search for which the Government lacked reasonable suspicion. However, the Government’s authority to conduct searches at the border includes the authority to disassemble a vehicle’s fuel tank without reasonable suspicion. United States v. Flores-Montano, 541 U.S. -, 124 S.Ct. 1582, 158 L.Ed.2d 311 (2004). We thus do not decide whether reasonable suspicion supported the search and affirm the district court.

AFFIRMED.
