Wasn't mail opening done heavily during WWII even in the US? What is new here?

What does this mean?
"in a manner consistent, to the maximum extent permissible, with the need to conduct searches in exigent circumstances. ..."
Its BS which violates the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
This mess could very easily draw blood. |
Can you find me a link to the accepted practices of government postal inspection during WWII?
In fact, try doing the same for the Civil War.
Then we all might know what it means. |
I'd go thru that effort but this is neither the civil war nor WWII, so it doesnot apply. |
There are people planning massive casualty attacks against US civilian, government, economic and military targets. One was not enough? |
I understand that. But violating the Fourth Amendment to our Constitution will not stop people from 'planning massive casualty attacks against US civilian, government, economic and military targets'.
This is a massive invasion of our rights under the Constitution. Based in the signing statement the executive branch of the federal government can violate the fourth amendment without a warrant.
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, 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.
I'm sorry but there are freedoms and rights I will not give up for greater security.
