> the government’s suspicionless searches of international travelers’ smartphones and laptops at airports and other U.S. ports of entry violate the Fourth Amendment

So, does this not apply to people flying domestically?

No. TSA doesn't search smartphones and laptops, and the searches they do apply to everybody. When you search everybody equally, courts have ruled it's not a 4th amendment violation. See drunk driving checkpoints.

I don't have a source at the ready, but my understanding is that the existing law and/or case law determined that traveling domestically entitled one to such protection. Various federal agencies have determined via rule making that such protections do not extend to international ports of entry/airports for reasons of national security. Those determinations are what have been struck down in this case.
