I have a problem with the Govt. being able to come into my house or anyone's house for that matter and not have to have some kind of probable cause to delve into my privacy. I want our Govt. to protect us, I whole heartedly agree with this. But being able to listen to my telephone conversations without a warrant, run my credit bureau so they can track my credit cards and where I spend my money without a warrant or how much money I have in the bank and where it came from without a warrant is wrong. If they want to catch Terrorist they should research Terrorists and where they're coming from, you know Arabs/Muslims. But no they can't do that, they have to give the perception that they're being fair and not targeting a certain race even though that certain race is the one killing Americans. Bottom line is that we need to give our govt. the tools to deal with terrorists, but we don't need to have our rights trampled on while they're doing it.

All of it. But going by memory(It's been 2+ years but from what I remember)

We can start with sneak and peak without a warrant.
And then judge shopping for warrants. And district judge anywhere can sign off on a warrant anywhere in the country. Easy to abuse. And most of all taking property with 'affirmative defense' needed to get it back. Affirmative defense means 'guilty till proven innocent'.
