Before Snowden everyone was like, who cares if the government sees my encrypted traffic, they don't know what is inside; or location info. And then people found out that metadata can be more powerful than the actual unencrypted information and can tie a person to a lot of things. So yeah, how about they don't search the phone without probable cause?

I find it astonishing, and horribly upsetting, that people think needing a warrant is horrible.

Needing a warrant, means you have to articulate why you want to invade someone's private life, and it further provides a chain of accountability.

It prevents rogue employees(peace officer, border patrol) from doing whatever they want, it provides oversight, it provides a second set of eyes, it provides for adherence to legislation and court decisions!

Yet I see people thinking it's some sort of horrible requirement. So bizarre.

It's fairly common to have login credentials to business email, slack (etc) accounts.

So that can be pretty serious for senior staff, infrastructure team members, and so on.
