[QUOTE="Paco Smithereens, post: 12129, member: 236"] Well, that refers to a specific context of being secure from search and seizures. Among things not covered (that affect me personally): If you own a house or land, at least in my state, that is a matter of public record. The government needs to know this to levy property taxes, and I'm not even opposed to this information being released with a warrant, but it is actually used by data miners and marketers, and I have no choice to opt out of it. If you're being stalked, don't ever buy a home. It does not secure the privacy of my amateur radio license - my details are replicated and spilled out all over the net because this crochety hobby feels like publishing everyone's call sign and home address as many as places as possible is conducive to...something. It does not cover anything digital specifically, which was obviously not conceived of at the time the Fourth was written. There is a concerted effort to abolish the private, ephemeral conversation, starting with the Clipper Chip in the 1990s and resurfacing again in EARN-IT Act and other attacks on encryption. If the Fourth Amendment were interpreted more broadly to secure our privacy in the sense of all of the government databases our information is in, it would be sufficient. And similarly, it is not merely Roe vs Wade which is in jeopardy, but its precedents like Griswold v. Connecticut, which could undermine the right to buy birth control similarly. I am also unclear how the Fourth Amendment applies to things like mass surveillance; the vacuuming of data as with AT&T Room 641A, which I'm still sore about, [/QUOTE]
