Silly People
The bill of rights were ratified on December 7, 1791.
The fourth amendment to the Constitution goes like this.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, paper, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.What a wonderful sentence. Almost like poetry. But what were they thinking? How could they have been so naive?
You would almost think they were not acquainted with war.

This is unrelated, kindof, I'm reading the United States of Europe and it amazingly points out how most of the EU countries didn't have anything like the bill of rights until 2000. (The newly formed EU commision on human rights copied the US Bill of rights) Until then most 'rights' of freedom and liberty were derived by the british people from british court rulings.
Americans! with their freedom and liberty rights... The thought that they think they can be preserved 'insert-derogatory-to-american-french-phrase'
Obviously the framers hated America and sympathized with terrorists. :)
