It's been there a long time, I think.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.,/B> (sic)

Pretty sure those conditions were met in this case. Or am I missing the part where it says you don't have to comply with a legally obtained search warrant? We've had a great deal of success using them in the past catching bad guys. Just because it's inside an iPhone doesn't make it less able to be searched. The guy who owns it owns the thing to seized and the thing to be searched. What, this doesn't count?

And I have challenged you to show me the search warrant legally served on Apple for something they had that was dispositive or probative in the terrorist case.

You have never produced that search warrant because you cannot. It does not exist.

By the way, the way you posted your citation of the Fourth Amendment, and your stress on the limitations of the power of the government, proves my contention "this fixation of yours on the power of the government exposing you as a big government fanatic." Thanks for the immediate validation.
