fistf, I sort of agree with you, but only up to a point. As long as these records are inviolate, I pretty much see it as a convenience factor for the government, especially when they're dealing with criminal conspiracies. But again, if you're committing a crime, you have no right to privacy. As it stands, all other citizens ARE considered law abiding and our activities DO remain private UNTIL there is a warrant (and therefore a good legal reason).
Now if we want to expand this discussion into the alleged warrantless wiretaps being conducted by the NSA, that's where the 4th Amendment gets interesting.
