Theory: In-Q-Tel funds - pushing the envelope means having opportunity
   to fund more stuff that breaks the new, harder stuff. Some opponents
   use the harder stuff already, it's just harder to fund if it's not
   widespread.
   The article reaches a bit in drawing conclusions, and offers little
   support. The picture painted is of a coherent judicial system - the
   opposite is true, each state even municipality treats the novel
   application of surveillance technology differently, holds different
   standards for 'public / private' and when, where and how you can expect
   privacy. Notable are the ways different courts treat cases of indecent
   exposure, when that exposure occurs on 'private property' (such as in
   an open window).
   The point illustrated, though, is valid - some clarity around what
   constitutes a 'search' beyond 'privacy mores in vogue' needs to be
   provided and codified, otherwise the US risks allowing widespread
   complacency to further continue the erosion of privacy.

     Hancock:        Mr. Franklin, where do you stand on the war issue?
     Franklin:       I believe that if we are to form a new country, we
     cannot be a country that appears war-hungry and violent to the rest
     of
     the world. However, we also cannot be a country that appears weak
     and
     unwilling to fight to the rest of the world. So, what if we form a
     country that appears to want both?
     Jefferson:      Yes. Yes of course. We go to war, and protest going
     to war at the same time.
     Dickinson:      Right. If the people of our new country are allowed
     to do whatever they wish, then some will support the war and some
     will
     protest it.
     Franklin:       And that means that as a nation, we could
     go to war with whomever we wished, but at the same time, act like we
     didn't want to. If we allow the people to protest what the
     government
     does, then the country will be forever blameless.
     Adams:
     [holding a slice of chocolate cake] It's like having your cake, and
     eating it, too.
     Congressman 2:  Think of it: an entire nation
     founded on saying one thing and doing another.
     Hancock:        And we
     will call that country the United States of America.
