Whoa Duchess... that was an easy one. How did you not know that?
With regard to the pictures coming out of Boston, it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if a resident had said 'no' to the searching of their house.
The 4th Amendment is pretty clear on this issue:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Caveat to add that there is probably some unconstitutional provision in the Patriot Act or the NDAA that allows for this sort of thing without a declaration of martial law. Which by the way should scare the hell out of everybody.
The proper way to handle such things would be Article 1 Section 9 via a suspension of habeas corpus.
The Constitution is a wonderful thing. We should follow it more often.
