the no warrant searches clause doesnt concern me so much. all they are saying is that the AG can say "yeah go search it now, ill get the warrant" and they can go search. if the judge turns down the warrant request then anything they find in the search is null and void for evidence value. just saving some time as i see it.

what concerns me more about this bill is that it gives electronic services providers blanket protection from prosecution or civil actions if they gather intel for the govt agencies. (if i read that part right)
