When is it enough?
Russoto (sorry for any misspellings) raises a hell of an interesting point. When should you be allowed to expect privacy due to simple human decency. You can find a way to find anything out from someone if you want to under these assumptions; simply find an angle they haven't covered. Hell, even our trash is public domain, as old-school dumpster diving crackers and carders could attest. At some point, the law should cover our privacy just because human beings need and deserve it. You should not have to go to extreme measures (custom wiring, extra insulation, etc) just to keep these jack-booted, gestapo thugs (or, for that matter, your jack-booted, gestapo neighbors) out of your damn business. How long before we're keeping a statue of our equivalent of Stalin in the middle of the Mall @ D.C.?
