Its situations like this that remind me to be thankful that the authors of our constitution, with all their foibles and errors, set up difficult-to-remove constraints on government overreach. It's hard to say just how many times we've been saved by the protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

On another note, I'm confused by the very existence of "Fight for the Future". They seem to exist in the exact same space as the EFF, and given that the EFF has been doing an excellent job for a long time now, it's hard not to suspect their motives. That's just conjecture, of course.



The 4th Amendment is an, uh, amendment to the Constitution. Scary to think how things would have worked out had there not been a Bill of Rights.
