the constitution needs an amendment to protect personal privacy in the modern age.
there is no way the framers could have envisioned someone tapping your DNA or snooping on you the way technology now allows. the intent of amendments prohibiting unwaranted search and seizure and prohibiting quarter of soldiers in private residences are clear indications that the bill of rights was set forth with the goal of protecting the personal property and privacy of American citizens. we should honor that and our populace by limiting our government's ability to collect personal information about ourselves and our private affairs. it is a non-partisan issue.
