2. The right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not
be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but
upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the
place to be searched, and the persons or
things to be seized.

3. "If you have something that you don't want
anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be
doing it in the first place…But if you really
need that kind of privacy, the reality is that
search engines, including Google, do retain
this information for some time...We're all
subject, in the United States, to the Patriot
Act. It is possible that that information could
be made available to the authorities.“
~ Google Chairman Eric Schmidt

4. "As soon as you assume you're being watched,
those who would watch you have already
won.“
~John Perry Barlow
