the Justice Department is planning a vast expansion of government hacking. Under a new set of rules, the FBI would have the authority to secretly use malware to hack into thousands or hundreds of thousands of computers that belong to innocent third parties and even crime victims. The unintended consequences could be staggering.
The new plan to drastically expand the government’s hacking and surveillance authorities is known formally as amendments to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and the proposal would allow the government to hack a million computers or more with a single warrant. If Congress doesn’t pass legislation blocking this proposal, the new rules go into effect on December 1.
The government says it needs this power to investigate ... devices infected with malware and controlled by a criminal—what’s known as a “botnet.” But the Justice Department has given the public far too little information about its hacking tools and how it plans to use them. And the amendments to Rule 41 are woefully short on protections for the security of hospitals, life-saving computer systems, or the phones and electronic devices of innocent Americans.

I guess The Fourth Amendment will soon be as dead as The Tenth Amendment.
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
This is why we need a conservative movement to get back to low-tech living, where it counts.
The truth is that our government has taken a single act of terrorism on 9/11/2001 and used it as an excuse for the Patriot Act and all the other agency rulings, edicts and decisions that invading our privacy to combat the terrorism that even their so-called President will not name.
There is not one agency in this government that is not infested with these freedom stealing, freedom ignoring, oppressing ghouls who refuse to see Muslim Terrorists but find a right wing home grown gun wingnut to entrap, imprison or outright kill.
You cannot trust a damned one of them.
America cannot trust this criminals.
Crooked Comey has shown he ignores other criminals
AND has NO ethics as he did not disclose
that HIS BROTHER ran the audit of Clinton Foundation.
A Fourth Amendment violation only if a court deems this to be “unreasonable.” In a sane world, it would be thus.
Wow, Co-Authored by a Dem Senator from OR.
Broken clock and all that.
It’s to keep the children safe!
Time for people to start learning about strong encryption.

I doubt any of the consequences are unintended.
Paging Ed Snowden...we have a job for you.
‘Unintended” consequences...suuuure.
I can see a cottage industry starting up revolving around a Linux Flavor OS that can be loaded on any laptop with wi-fi that randomizes it’s IP information every so many minutes and has powerful firewall tools to prevent gubermint hacking into it.
I thought they already were.
I guess The Fourth Amendment will soon be as dead as The Tenth Amendment.

One day patriots may have to respond to government-style hacking with Rwandan-style hacking....
The vintage British series “The Good Life” comes to mind.
OpenBSD is suited for handling such attacks.
