I guess we all know which way the court will be deciding when probes and sensors are devised that can peer into your house.

They've already decided on that (infrared cameras). It's not allowed.

Apparently, all they need to do is add some biological sensing unit and it all becomes okay again.

Maybe if they find a way to preserve dogs olfactory nerves in a circuit? Then they can sniff our houses?

My understanding of the ruling on sensing equipment is that it IS allowed but it IS NOT admissible as evidence. There is a big difference there. I don't believe the ruling barred the police from using the equipment specifically. There are laws against phone tapping ... I don't think there are laws preventing anyone using any kind of technology to look around a neighborhood. Just my recollection - could be wrong.

I thought infrared imaging of neighborhoods was a matter of routine, to find people who are growing pot. Likewise, "large" electric bills are reported.
