Fortunately, I am not the "idiot" to which you refer, but I do have some
points to ponder. Insofar as the proposed legislation is enforced within
the constitutional restrictions regarding unlawful search and seizure--and
additionally complies with mandates regarding the procurement of search
warrants--your point is valid. 

Now, however, we shall have to consider what constitutes reasonable
suspicion. Will, for example, the publication of opinions through e-mail
and web pages of a "radical right wing" nature (while not necessarily
promulgating "hate" speech) be considered reasonable suspicion?

Looks to me like we have opened yet another Pandorah's Box of federal
invasion of civil rights, but then I'm biased :-)
