ILLEGAL !
GEORGE MASON, ON WHICH THOMAS JEFFERSON RELIED ON TO WRITE THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE:
“That general warrants, whereby any officer or messenger may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of a fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named, or whose offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence, are grievous and oppressive and ought not to be granted.”
What a lame excuse! They’ll try to justify this criminal data-mining operation of theirs while bending over backwards to not offend any Muslims!
Legal or not, the government will do what the government wants to do and there's not a DAMNED thing we can do about it...legally.
