Is it EVER okay for spooks to break into a church's computer to find out if they are secret terrorists?
I'm not sure the answer is clearly one way or another, and I am willing to bet that the tone of the answers will mostly be emotional appeals to some idealistic standard or pessimistic nightmares.
From a pragmatic standpoint, if the feds can burn down a church with the worshippers still inside with impunity, it stands to reason that breaking into their computers would not be a very big deal.
