    I hear you. But if it can pass ANY kind of actual double blind test then it's at least qualified for a basic looking into.

    I think failing double blind studies is as good as 'proven not to work'.

    I don't care about pedantics or whiners.

    Holy shit.

    Prove that it works or GTFO.

    Perhaps you don't know that willow bark has salicylic acid in it. That's why it actually works. Annnd destroys your stomach lining.

    Virtually all alternative medicine don't actually work. The burden of proof is on them. Not on NOT proving they DON'T work. Your emphasis is pointless.

    Don't forget the ocean is ~20,000 feet deep here.

    You don't seem to understand what constitutional is then.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...

    "A "search" occurs for purposes of the Fourth Amendment when the government violates a person's "reasonable expectation of privacy. Katz's reasonable expectation of privacy thus provided the basis to rule that the government's intrusion, though electronic rather than physical, was a search covered by the Fourth Amendment, and thus necessitated a warrant.[35][40] The Court said that it was not recognizing any general right to privacy in the Fourth Amendment,[41] and that this wiretap could have been authorized if proper procedures had been followed.[40]"

    Actually, they're a security agency. It's even in their name.

    Not that hacking into every sysadmins computer would give anyone security, but that's another matter.
