Check the source, and try to verify it against any other information. I can't seem to find anything from a credible source to verify the extent this article claims

EDIT: since I can't directly reply - the article linked below directly contradicts the URL on the HN post - it clearly states that warrants would be needed. It is also political hyperbole and contains very few details about the actual bill. I recommend scrolling down to jpollock's response for credible sources.
