I agree with QRQ 30 about the privacy thing. However, if you are on the job and doing shit you aren't supposed to (looking at porn or surfing the web all day instead of doing your assigned tasks) it's a matter of simply removing the distraction. Take the web off the computers and remove the right to e-mail any unscreened mail from the terminals.
Now from the homeowner's perspective (or the private citiizen) you should have to acquire a search warrant first. There are some unsavory folks out there that will be doing things they shouldn't. You need to have an artculatable justification for the need to get into a person's privacy. (Cell phones, home phones, mail or e-mail).

From an LE perspective, I would always get a search warrant just to keep it from getting throw out of court. Judges can be very fickle these days.

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.
