Sorry for being dense. Now that I reread your first reply, I get it.
I don't see where the the government broke the law or the constitution here. The law allows them to enter a premises secretly to place, for instance, a listening device. I don't see how that's any different in the Scarfo case or how it's disallowed by the 4th. Again, I agree that the open-ended nature of the warrant is troubling, and if I had been the judge, I would never have agreed to that kind of warrant. I also don't see a problem with the keystroke log since they apparently had evidence of a crime being committed or documented on that computer.
The national security claim for the gambling operation seems a little farfetched, and I purposefully didn't address that in my original rebuttal. Now that the cat's out of the bag - this seems like bullshit and again presupposing that I'm the judge, I would have told the agents that. It's also perfectly reasonable that there's some truth to it and that we're not privy to that information, but I don't find it very likely.
