I think we can depend on our government officials and employees of the communication companies not to engage in any inappropriate snooping, even if they can do it without warrants.

Of course we can depend on our elected officials not to do anything unethical. Who could believe otherwise?

Exactly! Privacy laws as against the government are superfluous, if not merely unenforceable. And warrants are only needed if the government takes the evidence to a court. As long as the evidence never goes to court, there can't be a fourth amendment violation. The government can snoop as much as it wants, as long as it never charges the bad guys in court. Courts are bad anyway. They let the bad guys off. Down with courts, up with surveillance.

Besides, why worry if you don’t have anything to hide?
