"Random" searches are illegal, however most states get around the law I know by 'counting' cars at DUI or DWI searches. "Every fourth" or "Every Fifth" car, for example, and can get in a lot of trouble if they 'accidently' skip a car, so they can search the teen-agers one back, say.

As to the application of street-law, shall we say, to tech-law...? Well, the D.D. regularly comes out with 'new' technology that is not yet illegal, only to be replaced when the courts tell them to stop.

I myself do not find this system justified, but I am more comfortable with it in the short term. After all, if the F.B.I. can spy on my house only until the courts find out that they have a new way to look 'at' my house (And still see the inside) then they will at least hold it in reserve until they find it important enough to make the sacrifice.

On the other hand, now we have the Patriot Act to consider. What ever happened to it's expiration?
