To be clear, you are saying that because you are "OK with that machine parsing through [your] data", you think that should authorize the government to parse through my data? Why should your set of values for privacy and lack of care for its preservation affect my right to privacy?

All I am saying is I am Ok if it saves the lives of innocent people. And I am definitely against people looking at my data ,a human should only get control through a warrant or tight scrutiny but that provision should be there in the system.
OK, now imagine the machine detects something. What now? A human isn't allowed to look at it, if I understand you correctly? Or only with a warrant? What would be the basis for the warrant? The fact that the machine detected something? Also, who gets to decide about the code the machine is running? Could someone just decide to have it flag everything, thus giving the basis for a warrant for everything, thus allowing humans to look at everything? Could you elaborate?
