How do you feel about Dems in the Senate wanting to allow Law Enforcement to read your emails without warrants?

Email is generally sent clear text. I can be read by anyone sniffing any server or switch that it passes through... therefore there is no expectation of privacy.

[Expectation of privacy is a legal test which is crucial in defining the scope of the applicability of the privacy protections of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It is related to, but is not the same thing as a right of privacy, a much broader concept which is found in many legal systems (see privacy law).]

It is possible to encrypt email, but it must be set up with the recipient before hand, which makes it impractical for general use.

However... if you are planning a terrorist attack, it might be worth your while.
