Dear Deforest:
  Don't let Blake Bowers know, but I've got some on-topic paranoia. On the 
ABC Evening News tonight, I saw what was described as a low-cost, short-range 
radar device. It was on a 2" square PCB, and the cost was said to be about $5 
though this could drop to fifty cents. It can detect human heartbeats through 
concrete. Great for finding folks buried in collapsed buildings.
  But I'm thinking, there goes the 4th amendment. How can it be unreasonable 
search if agents conducting surveillance on a dwelling are doing nothing more 
than listening to a signal being broadcast? People who like listening to cell 
phones argue, "if you don't want me to hear it, don't broadcast it." This is 
what government lawyers will argue.
  I'm wondering if it isn't actually sonar at work, but the reporter kept 
calling it radar. And I've long believed that TV news fact-checking is state 
of the art.
  Oh--time for my medication.
  Yours, Blair
