This isn’t new, and it’s not from the Patriot Act. It came out of RICO. I don’t think it’s unconstitutional. RICO laws have been pretty well tested by now. They still have to get a warrant, they just don’t have to tell the subject that they were there.

Exactly... this act was depicted in the Sporanos... and the FBI entered Tony’s home without notifying Tony that they had planted mics and cameras. They did have a Warrant to do so.

Really? Please read the following, and tell me where you see the constitutionality of unnotified, secret searches:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated

It's a recipe for fishing expeditions and planting of evidence to destroy political enemies. Might even be pretty lucrative to do so if they just want your house, civil asset forfeiture and all that.

It's just a matter of time.
