No reasonable expectation of privacy on your PC

Quote:In a dangerously flawed decision unsealed today, a federal district court in Virginia ruled that a criminal defendant has no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in his personal computer, located inside his home. According to the court, the federal government does not need a warrant to hack into an individual's computer.

Quote:The implications for the decision, if upheld, are staggering: law enforcement would be free to remotely search and seize information from your computer, without a warrant, without probable cause, or without any suspicion at all. To say the least, the decision is bad news for privacy. But it's also incorrect as a matter of law, and we expect there is little chance it would hold up on appeal. (It also was not the central component of the judge's decision, which also diminishes the likelihood that it will become reliable precedent.)

So exactly where can I reasonably expect privacy? ::fury::
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
