I guess we all know which way the court will be deciding when probes and sensors are devised that can peer into your house.
They've already decided on that (infrared cameras). It's not allowed.
Police already patrol self storage places with dogs. The owner of the facility lets them on the property and lets the dogs sniff around the doorways. Although a person has an expectation of privacy for things within the storage room, it has been ruled that any scents (even if it takes a dog to detect them) that emanate from the room are not private.
Ending the war on drugs is really the only way to stop the assault on our liberties.
The USSC has already ruled on that. Can't do it without a valid search warrant.

OKEMOS - Four employees of Okemos-based health benefits administrator Weyco Inc. have been fired for refusing to take a test that would determine whether they smoke cigarettes.
The company instituted a policy on Jan. 1 that makes it a firing offense to smoke - even if done after business hours or at home.
Weyco founder Howard Weyers said previously that he instituted the tough anti-smoking rule to shield his company from high health care costs.
"I don't want to pay for the results of smoking," he said.
The anti-smoking rule led one employee to quit work before the policy went into place.
Since Jan. 1, four more people were shown the door when they balked at the anti-smoking test.
"They were terminated at that point," said Chief Financial Officer Gary Climes.
Even so, Weyco said, the policy has been successful.
Climes estimated that about 18 to 20 of the company's 200 employers were smokers when the policy was announced in 2003.
Of those, as many as 14 quit smoking before the policy went into place.
Weyco offered them smoking cessation help, Climes said.
"That is absolutely a victory," Climes said.

And Freeper robertpausen, authoritarion extrordinaire, hater of freedom, and amateur Brownshirt will say that the government has the authority under the interstate commerce clause to do any damned thing it likes.
If I've just been at the range, and my car is full of spent brass and smoking firearms, how will the dog react?
