How much further will you let them go?
First it was phones. Then it was emails. Now it's your bank accounts.

Naturally, the administration claims they need no warrant.
The program, however, is a significant departure from typical practice in how the government acquires Americans' financial records. Treasury officials did not seek individual court-approved warrants or subpoenas to examine specific transactions, instead relying on broad administrative subpoenas for millions of records from the cooperative, known as Swift.
When does it end? How far are we willing to let them go? HOW HARD IS IT TO FOLLOW THE LAW AND GET A WARRANT?
All they do when they don't follow procedure is make it easier for any real criminals they catch to be set free because of violations of the 4th Ammendment.
Are health records next?
