I don't see the warrant as unreasonable.

In this case probably not but I sure don't want to give the govt. a precident to perform surgery on suspects in order to obtain suspected evidence. Give them that power, and it can only lead to a very bad and dark place eventually. Sometimes it's better to let a case go than set up future generations for who knows what horrors politicians will visit upon them.

Good point. If they can do this, what's to stop them from eventually demanding that every citizen have his DNA on file?

This situation definately raises some interesting questions. What if it's not a suspect but some bystander that got popped? Do we want the right to force them to undergo invasive surgery? And what if the surgery wasn't so "safe" (btw, there is no such thing as "safe" surgery) - who makes the determination if we're going to force a suspect to undergo it?

This has the potential to set a dangerous precedent.
