The law in question was passed the same week that congress submitted the fourth amendment.

Please stop parroting "200 year old law".

Oh, you mean in 1789, 227 years ago?
Yes. The same week that the fourth amendment -- which is what provides us with strong protection against unreasonable search and seizure -- was approved by Congress.

Or do you refer to that as a stale 200 year old law, too?
