    Ya, but buses are massive hulks of steel so who is to say that any children would be hurt by hitting the bus in the first place? Additionally the driverless system is going to respond and be on the brakes a lot sooner then a person would and the driverless system would already sense unsafe conditions and be slowing before the accident even had the potential to occur.

    A locksmith is not analogous to a manufacturer. Yes, you pay the locksmith to replace your locks but that doesn't mean you forget about the problem. You can also complain to the manufacturer for making such junk locks. The method for preventing picking in locks has been well known for a long time now. In fact there are many methods. This company was negligent. They should have made the port to reprogram the lock, only accessible if the lock was unlocked or removed from the door.

    No, it doesn't have to be. The point is, are you wasting somebody's time? It doesn't have to be the suspect. It could be anybody. But if the information can be viewed without anybody expending any of their valuable time then I don't consider it intrusive.

    Yes, but if the right to privacy is important, don't you think we should enumerate it in the Constitution just to be sure?

    Some of what you said is true. The idea of "Privacy as a right" is one that comes from the courts and jurisprudence and does not come from any actual legislation for the most part and for sure does not come from the Constitution. Furthermore if you look at the INTENT of the 4th amendment, it can be argued that the motivation for it is to stop searches which are intrusive and cause conversion of actual belongings to another party so they can search them. This was and still is a major problem with all kinds of things being seized on a daily basis with and without warrants. However, with data it is possible for people to search it in non-intrusive ways. This is where the conflict comes into play. It might not be infringing on the INTENT of the 4th but it really scares people. There is of course a potential for abuse by those in authority. So long as checks and balances are in place, a happy middle ground can be sought.

    I don't even want the interface on my Xbox. Its horrible there and it crashes way more frequently then the previous UI. However, people who moan too much about Metro UI need to take a chill pill. Using the windows button or ctrl+esc is not that hard and quite frankly searching for applications or control panels is much faster then digging through nested folders to find them.
