With equal validity, you could argue that a violent crime is likely to be committed by a young black man in the next week, and mandate "interviewing" all young black men. There is a reason that arbitrary search and seizure is unconstitutional. ObCRIME Mailing list: It was recently reported http://www.msnbc.com/news/660096.asp?cp1=1 that the FBI has added a new feature ("Magic Lantern") to Carnivore that will seek to obtain crypto keys from suspects' computers using an e-mail virus. An interesting question I have not seen answered is whether the FBI or other government agencies will need a warrent to deploy such tools, or to use the fruits there of. Anyone in law enforcement have a clue of whether you need a warrent to hack into a suspect's computer? Or is someone stupid enough to run Microsoft Outlook as their mail client considered to have just brought it on themselves?
