Feds can clandestinely obtain information from people's email and cellphones without a search warrant
WASHINGTON — The U.S. government obtained secret court orders to force Google Inc and a small Internet provider to hand over information from email accounts of a WikiLeaks volunteer, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The U.S. request included email addresses of people that Jacob Appelbaum, a volunteer for the campaigning website, had corresponded with in the past two years, but not the full emails, the newspaper said, citing documents it had reviewed.

The evil empire called the U.S. government
Search without warrant. Google actually stated they received 4000 requests for information about their account users. 4000. It is as I said--- our "leaders" don't give a crap about, and probably don't even KNOW about, our Constitutional rights. They do whatever they please and threaten those who don't "cooperate" with a list of "consequences". I wonder how many secret arrests were done and how many people were told "we can't tell you if your dad was arrested or not". Orwell would be having a FIELD DAY with whats going on now. How's my syntax?
This is why the Patriot Act has not been repealed. It's so much easier to skirt the Constitution when our national security is suposedly at stake.
