&gt; There is no evidence that there is any legal protection ...<p>Even if that were true, it would be irrelevant. We aren&#x27;t stuck with our laws. If they&#x27;re abusive or useless they need to be changed.<p>&gt; If they can search your home for it, they should be permitted to search ...<p>Sure, I can see that you think that. But making false equivalences isn&#x27;t a good argument even if it tends to be the usual limit of political discourse. Our servants are &quot;permitted&quot;, with the right suspicion and warrants, to search almost anything (in the name of the people). Yes.<p>But this isn&#x27;t a case of permission, it&#x27;s about capability. They&#x27;re incapable. You&#x27;re implying that the law not only permits some searches, but necessarily compels unlimited help in making those searches possible?<p>That&#x27;s a <i>huge</i> stretch. Especially when that help involves uttering falsehoods.
