For the Hacker News members who are reflexively downvoting my comment, presumably for political reasons, I refer you to Riley vs. California, the 2014 SCOTUS decision that ruled warrantless searches of cell phones were unconstitutional:

The opinion was written by Roberts with a concurrence by Alito.

Again, presumably, the 2024 court is likely to take an even a dimmer view of the Feds trying to expand their powers and circumvent the 4th Amendment than the 2014 court.

Hahaha, Franklin was the Original Horndog. His advice on choosing a mistress is a classic:
