The Volokh Conspiracy looks at a recent judgment in regards to datamining. Specifically, it looked at whether datamining triggers Fourth Amendment protection?

President Bush just released his fiscal year ’07 budget. A lot of social programs don’t fare very well in them. However, he is generous to Homeland Security and the Department of Defense.
