Not sure this how this falls under a 'search'. As you drive from O'Hare to Chicago there are facial recognition cameras that scan each passing vehicle. There are parking enforcement trucks (boot patrol) that scan license plates searching for scofflaws. There are even corner cameras that watch and record everything. These don't bother me. What bothers me is this administration's misguided concern over the rights of terrorists.

Ever hear of Echelon or Carnivore software that basically monitors the entire Internet including email. That is a warrant less search whether done by machine or human. IMO
