Do We Need to Change the Fourth Amendment?
The Fourth Amendment currently reads:
FindLaw: U.S. Constitution: Fourth Amendment: 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.
Looking ahead to a century of suitcase nukes, terrorist attacks, and non-state actors, do we need to amend the amendment? Should we perhaps change it to read:
FindLaw: U.S. Constitution: Fourth Amendment: 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 or, in cases affecting the national security, reasonable suspicion, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
