Obama Continues Bush-era Policy on Computer Searches
We live in a digital age. Our lives are maintained and managed via digital tools like our laptops, music devices and cell phones. The details of our lives are stored there in explicit and implicit ways; whether we're talking about Word documents that comprise business proposals or cached search queries, the details are there.
Why then is the Obama administration maintaining an invasive search and seizure program that allows TSA employees to not only search travelers' digital devices but also back up the data and store it? Mind you, all this without probable cause.
That, my friends, is a violation of the 4th Amendment.
