OMG! You're so right! We need to get rid of that sticky 4th Amendment* so we 
can hunt those bad guys in their land homes. Us good guys can certainly put 
up with the inconvenience of midnight knocks on the door.

But to keep this on the topic of 'Trawler', why is it that the Supremes find 
it OK to do unWarranted searches of water homes, but not OK to do the same 
to land homes?
