Papers, houses, persons, and effects does not include communications or other people's papers about you. We need a new Wiretap Act for this era.

One could say that the type information I have is ill-relevant: it is still covered by the 4th amendment (it is my papers, houses, persons, effects). So, it doesn't make logical sense that information I hold about other people is in some way not covered under the 4th amendment.
