Well, there's been a (at least)60 year movement to bypass probable cause and warrants in general. They invented "no expectation of privacy" and other madness that's certainly not footnoted after the Bill of Rights in invisible ink. You cannot sidestep the Constitution with regular law. It takes an Amendment or a formal suspension of civil liberties, like martial law. If they want to have searches without warrants, then they need to have to jump through the hoops to make and Amendment. It's difficult to do and was intended to be difficult. I don't want a new Amendment. But if they want warrantless searches, that's what it's going to take. People here don't want dems to have powers like that. I agree, and I don't want Republicans to have those powers, either.

Thank you.
People are confusing terms. A 'reasonable' search is one that comports with the 4th Amendment requirements of a warrant backed by probable cause and a sworn affidavit.
An 'unreasonable' one is any one without a warrant. No simple law, no judicial ruling, and no executive order can change that. Only an amendment or a declaration of war against the American people can, or a lazy, complacent, and scared populace that will accept it. There is no off switch on the Constitution.

(In the hands of bureaucrat, a clip board can be as dangerous to liberty as a gun.)

Well, now they will not need a warrant. All they'll have to do is go down the street and check everyones house for illegal goods or activities.
