Most transparent admin ever wants your email

And he wants it without a warrant. He also wants access to your cell phone because there's no reasonable expectation for privacy, right? This is one of the problems with "cloud computing," which is when you utilize an email service such as Yahoo, where your email is stored on their servers, rather than an email client that downloads the messages onto your hard drive. Cloud computing is just a group of computers that work together en masse. Where are the screaming MSM, such as when Bush wanted to look at ONE terrorist computer?

Under a 1986 law written in the pre-Internet era, Internet users enjoy more privacy rights if they store data locally, a legal hiccup that these companies fear could slow the shift to cloud-based services unless it's changed. 

The judge should "reject the government's attempted end-run around the Fourth Amendment and require it to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause before searching and seizing e-mails without prior notice to the account holder," the coalition brief filed Tuesday says. The Bill of Rights' Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and, in general, has been interpreted to mean warrantless searches are unreasonable.[SNIP]

A few weeks ago, for instance, Justice Department prosecutors told a federal appeals court that Americans enjoy no reasonable expectation of privacy in their mobile device's location and that no search warrant should be required to access location logs.
