"The right to be left alone - the most comprehensive of rights,
and the right most valued by a free people." ; "... If the
government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for

it invites anarchy. ... Nothing can destroy a government
more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws,
or worse, its disregard of its own existence."
Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 485 (1928).

by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."

situations and an increase in terrorist attacks against
the United States.
