examples
fbi can break into a house of even a congressman to look for evidence for terrorism WITHOUT a warrant
government can force librarians to give up the reading history of anyone even suspected of terrorism
this is against the 4th amendment
besides it being bad to search and seize property of suspects
warrants SAVES time & money
warrants saves make sure there is enough proof so that fbi & police are going after the right guy
some people in the past have admitted to doing wrong things even if they havent because they might have psychological issues
or just because they want attention or be famous for a short while

Its well known that even with information from multiple spy agencies saying 911 will happen the white house chose to not to listen to any of them & left the building unprotected even tho it could have
The Patriot Act even before 9/11 could not have stopped 9/11
