The problem today is that technology has enabled governments — and corporations — to conduct surveillance that would have been unfathomable even a few decades ago.

You can’t put the genie back in the bottle, so the constitutional protections against that surveillance really only protect a citizen from having that surveillance used in a criminal court.
