Nonetheless, the American Founding Fathers recognized the core problem and addressed it in a clear comprehensive manner: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." In no way could that be construed as permitting federal requirement that personal communications & records be arbitrarily accessible by law enforcement agents on a "fishing expedition".
