The law in question was passed the same week that congress submitted the fourth amendment.

Please stop parroting "200 year old law".

Yes. The same week that the fourth amendment -- which is what provides us with strong protection against unreasonable search and seizure -- was approved by Congress.

Or do you refer to that as a stale 200 year old law, too?
