Unless all 50 states <i>democratically</i> permit warrantless surveillance, you&#x27;ll have a place to go to get away from it. Now you might have to live with other kinds of government intrusion, but it&#x27;s in a state&#x27;s interest to stand out and attract tax-payers with a progressive set of laws. Codifying and institutionalizing draconian laws the national level doesn&#x27;t leave us with any choice (if we want to stay in the U.S.A. of course).
