It is fascinating to observe the proliferation of technological misadventures federally funded in the past decade+ since 9/11. There needs to be a real legal movement to place limits on these activities. The argument is already lost in many other countries (e.g. U.K.), but we have a fundamental legal doctrine, enshrined in the 4th Amendment, that should apply. That requires real congressional and judicial action to restrain these law enforcement and anti-terrorism activities. Unfortunately, since nobody can yet claim tangible harm from having their privacy invaded, the judicial route seems murky.
- anigbrowl 13y agowe have a fundamental legal doctrine, enshrined in the 4th Amendment You need a constitutional amendment specifically for privacy and data retention. The 4th amendment does not do what you think it does. Meanwhile, the argument is not lost in countries like the UK, but very much alive in terms of people invoking EU law via the charter of fundamental rights.
