1Opinion of the Court
COFFIN, Senior Circuit Judge.
After deplaning at San Juan International Airport, defendants Amado Fernandez Ventura and Milagros Cedeno were questioned by Customs agents and arrested for illegally transporting money, in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 5316. They filed a motion to suppress all inculpatory statements made in the absence of Miranda warnings, which was granted. The government appealed. Having concluded that the district court applied an erroneous legal test, we remand for reconsideration of the suppression motion under the proper standard.
