Applying the same reasoning to mail means they can just pick up your mail and open it and read it. Bull$h!t. If I send a letter to a friend, I have an expectation of privacy.
We are completely unaware of the depth of the totalitarianism we live in.

There are some already out there but they are probably operated by the IRS.

Thanks very much for the ping, dearest you, Nachum.
I’ve always conducted my E-mail, as though the IRS were reading it and now I learn I was right all along.

Well, what do you expect from a society that does not uphold the laws? You can’t expect due process any longer. The fools that voted for Obama have ‘fundamentally transformed’ this nation.

A public FB post or tweet is not the same as a private email between two parties.

I would plead the 5th, when asked about content.
I would then point out that they have violated the 4th Ammendment by possessing the information they cite.
Then ask for dismissal.

Read my tag.
At the bottom of each email I send is this statement:
To the faceless, jack-booted government bureaucrat who just scanned this email: SCREW YOU!
This pisses me off to no end. There's nothing in my emails worth scanning, it's the principle of it. We have certain unalienable rights and we are getting pounded by a bunch of Marxist bullies.

“An IRS 2009 Search Warrant Handbook obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union argues that “emails and other transmissions generally lose their reasonable expectation of privacy and thus their Fourth Amendment protection once they have been sent from an individual’s computer.”

I’m not too hot on the E-Mail end, but FACEBOOK, sure - if some tax cheat is STUPID ENOUGH to brag about it on Facebook, then let them explain it to the “Men in Black”.
