Abstract:

Today, technology pervades every aspect of US society changing concepts of privacy and challenging the nations legal system to keep pace with concepts the nations forefathers never imagined. At the same time, technology has fostered the emergence and success of a new enemy, the non-state actor who recognizes neither the law nor national boundaries.1 While US court systems have been flexing the expectation of privacy to address technological change,2 they have been slower to recognize that societal changes like the advent of terrorism increase the need for government surveillance.
