This post from Running 'Cause I Can't Fly is well worth the read. Here's an excerpt:
The legal justifications for securing our personal effects, enshrined in the 4th
Amendment, represent the cornerstone of American freedom: that F-word
politicians blather on about at length even as they secretly betray it. This is
not simply a personal preference to be private but is the necessary precondition
for a free society. Private communications are the difference between what once
was America and what once was the Soviet Union, or Orwell's dystopia if you
prefer. The value of having secure, private lives free of government malfeasance
and scrutiny is beyond a price and beyond debate. As long as the Constitution
remains the "Supreme Law of the Land," those who willingly violate it have
committed treason against the American people.
