In my opinion, we are debating the "very real privacy issues at stake here" with the amount of decorum such drivel deserves.

Privacy concerns are drivel? Very well, apparently you haven't much appreciation for privacy. That's fine, everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion. Let the forum weigh your posts accordingly.

If someone is reading my emails or going through my trash, all I can say is that they're going to be mighty bored AND have dirty hands.

Sounds a lot like "If you haven't done anything wrong you don't have anything to worry about".

Time for a constitutional ammendment to support privacy.

Citizens has be secure in the privacy in the their person from the non-consentual collection of information regarding their properties, activities, and conscience.

or something like that.
