Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway - and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements.

That is the bizarre - and scary - rule that now applies in California and eight other Western states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which covers this vast jurisdiction, recently decided the government can monitor you in this way virtually anytime it wants - with no need for a search warrant.

See? I told you that you were wasting your money on that shrink. You weren't paranoid, the government IS out to get you.

Now that I know that they might be watching my travels, I'll have to go somewhere more exciting than doctor's offices and hospitals. Maybe I'll run by the local farm store and ask the price of a couple of tons of ammonium nitrate. Then I'll go over to the flying school at the airport and ask how much to learn to fly, and I don't need the take-off and landing parts.

It's amazing to think that I used to be part of the U.S. Government. I wore a uniform and boots and belonged to the part that made life difficult for America's enemies though, not the fat-ass brain-dead part that makes life difficult for Americans.
