(55,981 posts)rubber stamped blanket warrant. That is a joke. Read the 4th amendment where is says, "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." The warrant Pres Obama got is worthless.
You ask "how much privacy should one expect from communication that results from sending a microwave signal through the air?"
How sad that you are so willing to give up your privacy so easily. Privacy of your emails and phone calls. It they arent private then not only can the government listen in, then Macy's can listen in, or Walmart, or your mother in law. We should fight to keep every bit of privacy we can.
Your "one last thing" - You dont care if you are surveilled because you dont do anything wrong. That means you dont see the need for the 4th Amendment because only bad people would be affected by government searches and seizures. I am so glad the founders didnt think that way. I hope you care that Exxon, GE, Microsoft, shouldnt be allowed to surveil you.
