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."
However, the email traffic in this country travels over PUBLIC and PRIVATE cables and fiber. That is where they are gaining access. Kind of like stepping on a public sidewalk and being filmed walking down the street by a local news show - you are not part of the show and may not like being filmed, however, in public spaces it is legal to take pictures. Of course, I am not an attorney, that is just my understanding, I would welcome enlightenment if I am wrong (which, I admit happens ;-))
FYI, I recently ordered the big posters (Constitution, Declaration and Bill of Rights from USHistory.org). I remember reading in some article that people who have these replicas and or talk about rights and the constitution or perhaps read Thomas Paine are of 'special interest'.
I wonder if I made some list...I ordered the posters and then several books, all online, with my CC...easy tracking.
