No. Malware is way more intrusive than wiretapping, it can affect your software. Implanting a chip into your brain to control your thoughts would be the extreme version of it.
- mattlutze 13y ago"Way more" intrusive doesn't conflict with "extension". It's just a more spirited adjectival phrase. Seems to be that what's described -- fake servers to watch traffic, turning on a mic to listen, turning on a camera to watch -- are all in spirit extensions of an intel agent sitting at an AT&T operator's switch and plugging into a line to listen to a conversation. Particularly that mic one. My contention was simply that it doesn't track that malware on a computer is anything like a soldier demanding to use someone's home as a bunk house.

I don't disagree, and IANAL, but there is a case to be made here that the spirit of the Third Amendment is to prevent military, or military-esque actors, from commandeering civilian property. On the other hand, in writing that, I realized there is something called commandeering and there are probably interesting relevant cases to go over to find whether or not that has any sense.
