As an obvious example, the 5th Amendment blatantly didn't have anything to do with passwords. The whole idea is a bit silly. The sensible thing to do would be to say that the Constitution has nothing much to say on many issues relating to modern technology and deal with it accordingly. Same goes with guns. If you want everyone to be armed then fine. That's your prerogative. But the Constitution clearly didn't mean for everyone and their mom to be tooled up with semi-automatic weaponry. I mean, just how legal are militias in the US? Because they're the reason you should be carrying. It was clearly a document of its time. And one of international importance. But the religious zeal to which it is adhered to is highly questionable. Now, it's not like we're perfect in the UK or anything. But if someone tried to justify something to do with smartphones or terrorism by referencing Magna Carta or the Bill of Rights, we'd probably take a step back and give them a napkin for the mouth frothing.
