A major attack would have nothing to do with the government's ability to violate the Constitution and our privacy rights. Spying on Americans is treason regardless of whom they are talking to. The government should have to provide a judge with probable cause to obtain a warrant to search someone and they should have to have a different warrant for each thing they want to search....email...phone...etc.

It's a gross violation to search everyone hoping to catch criminals. For instance, setting up roadblocks to find drunks is absolutely a violation of the Constitution and civil rights.
