The Supreme Court was already called upon to answer the question of whether using sense enhancing technology to "view" the inside of a home was a "search" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Here's a link to the full case:

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=000&invol=99-8508

"Held: Where, as here, the Government uses a device that is not in general public use, to explore details of a private home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion, the surveillance is a Fourth Amendment "search," and is presumptively unreasonable without a warrant. Pp. 3-13."

I posted my reply too soon....after reading a number of subsequent posts, I see that many have concerns about the Fourth Amendment protections. I think they are unfounded based on the Supreme Court case, Kyllo v. US. Please see my post here:
