The claim that government agencies cannot enter private chat rooms without probable cause is dismissed as a lie intended to deceive the public. Analysts suggest that there is no true expectation of privacy on the internet and that the involvement of organizations like Bellingcat helps the government bypass legal hurdles. The narrative is framed as part of a "honeypot" scheme to monitor whistleblowers and foreign spies.

### Fourth Amendment, Probable Cause Fishing Expedition

Legal experts argue that the FBI's demand for Apple to unlock the San Bernardino shooter's phone constitutes a "fishing expedition" rather than a standard search based on probable cause. Because the suspect is deceased and the government is looking for unknown potential crimes, critics claim the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure are being bypassed.

President Obama claims the NSA cannot listen to phone calls or "target" emails without a court order based on probable cause. The hosts argue this is a deceptive "theater of the mind" that ignores the fact that data is already recorded and stored for future retrieval. They emphasize that the government simply retrieves stored data rather than setting up traditional wiretaps.
