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

A Fourth Amendment violation only if a court deems this to be “unreasonable.” In a sane world, it would be thus.
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.

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.
One day patriots may have to respond to government-style hacking with Rwandan-style hacking....
They’ve been doing it for years.
Isn’t that right, dude behind my screen?
Time to buy a typewriter.
This is why I have more than one computer that is never connected to the Internet. If it doesn’t need to be online, why risk it?
IF she wins at all.
Trump in a landslide win.
My greatest fear is not the government being able to decode my encrypted messages (I haven’t yet had a reason to send one), but that the government could detect that I sent an encrypted message and demand that I decrypt it for them.
It’s simple to send a totally undecryptable message. You use a huge key. You xor the message being sent with the key. You previously have given that key to the recipient by physical means such as giving the recipient a flash drive containing it. The recipient simply xor’s the received encrypted message with the key.
That old dusty paper thing those dead white guys wrote almost a quarter millennia ago is meaningless.
