<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 18.0px Tahoma"><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0); "><em>The Bill of Rights expressly prohibits blanket searches by law enforcement and affirms the rights of individual citizens to privacy: &ldquo;The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated...&rdquo; Further, the amendment is explicit about when and how searches may be conducted: &ldquo;&hellip;and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.&rdquo; Clearly, what the NSA blithely calls &ldquo;bulk collection&rdquo;&mdash;the warrantless interception and data mining of emails and phone calls&mdash;is unconstitutional and unlawful.</em></span></p>
