I wouldn't call this breaking in, more like surveillance.

  And with some very obvious exceptions, warrants are required to commit surveillance that violate certain privacy and property rights.

    The thing is I don't believe the court will find this to be violating any laws.

      I think you're probably right, but the argument up-thread was that the justice system is hypocritical regarding the permissibility of actions taken by the government compared to individual people.

  IMO a better analogy for "just sending packets" would be entering a store and looking around, or sending a package through the mail. Why? Because it could EITHER be totally-legal or blatantly-illegal, depending on the time, place, manner, and other details. Maybe they entered during business-hours, or maybe they broke in at 3AM. Maybe the package was a gift, maybe it was an explosive.
