    check this one out...the ability for the government to enter your house, tap your phone line, take any information they want and leave without you knowing.....all without any kind of warrant, as it can be "delayed".

    Section 3103a of title 18, United States Code, is amended--

    (1) by inserting `(a) IN GENERAL- ' before `In addition'; and

    (2) by adding at the end the following:

    `(b) DELAY- With respect to the issuance of any warrant or court order under this section, or any other rule of law, to search for and seize any property or material that constitutes evidence of a criminal offense in violation of the laws of the United States, any notice required, or that may be required, to be given MAY BE DELAYED IF--

    `(1) the court finds reasonable cause to believe that providing immediate notification of the execution of the warrant may have an adverse result (as defined in section 2705);

    `(2) the warrant prohibits the seizure of any tangible property, any wire or electronic communication (as defined in section 2510), or, except as expressly provided in chapter 121, any stored wire or electronic information, except where the court finds reasonable necessity for the seizure; and

    `(3) the warrant provides for the giving of such notice within a reasonable period of its execution, which period may thereafter be extended by the court for good cause shown.'.
