Isn't this illegal?
I'm sure there's an amendment about that... Let's see... *dredges up the 10th grade*
1. Speech, press, religion, assembly and petition
2. Bear arms
3. No quartering of soldiers in peacetime
4. No unreasonable search/seizures, "just cause"
5. No self-incriminating statements, no double jeopardy
6. Speedy, impartial jury trial
7. Trial by jury for civil suits >$20
8. No excessive bail, no cruel and unusual punishments
9. This list doesn't mean there aren't other rights
10. Rights not covered by the constitution are ceded to the states

And I do think that this constitutes an unreasonable search and seizure. I really, truly do. I can decide for myself if I think it's constitutional, just so long as I realize that this matters not a whit in the making of public policy.
