well its not that im worried about my computer its just that isnt that violating our 4th amendment?? I know if they get a warrent to search your house they are required to knock first. so putting this "magic lantern" on your computer without your knowledge wouldnt that be violating your 4th amendment considering they have to get a warrent then to, well it sounds kindve like a load of BS to me.
