Those warrantless searches of your luggage are a hell of a lot more intrusive than the wiretapping of people who are communicating with terrorists, and 99.9% of the people that they intrude on are completely innocent. Also, I think they are basically a waste of time. Message #156902 from KLP at 2/6/2006 2:01:11 PM This raises a good point re the wiretapping: Why don't they have to get a warrant for this as well.... Maybe Specter and some of our left leaning friends can tell us... Similarly, the interception and computer processing of vast numbers of international communications can be characterized as an "administrative search" which, like airport screening, is directed toward identifying terrorists and thereby preventing terrorist attacks inside the U.S. If TSA employees can look through your underwear without probable cause and without a warrant on the one in a million chance that you might be a terrorist, why can't electronic equipment intercept and analyze your international phone calls for the same reason?
