The government doesn't require a warrant to take your property by taxation or for eminent domain. The government doesn't require a warrant to prevent people from entering or leaving the country. The government doesn't require a warrant to block off city streets or do any of a number of things to public property. The only things that the Constitution requires the government to get a warrant to do are "search and seizure", which are terms with very specific meanings in the Common Law. The NSA somehow argues that intercepting people's traffic isn't a "search" until an analyst actually looks at it, which I think is a ridiculous argument; however, the response isn't "everything you do needs a warrant", but "that's a search, and searches need warrants". |
