Martain, you want to know where the constitution says the gov't can spy on you? Try article 1 section 8 on the congressional power to provide for the general welfare of the United States. Don't believe that that section means the gov't can spy on your computer? Go read sup ct law about wiretap, investigation, and evidence admission and look at the omissions in the wiretap act. That's the definition of providing for the welfare of the people. George Orwell was a bit early in his prediction, but necessarily wrong.
