There is no hope for us if nothing we hold to be ours is available to any government agent who demands it. A request for a single person is one thing, it only affects that one person. Once the request affects a huge number of unrelated people just to grab that one person it becomes unreasonable. It's like arresting an entire city to catch a single criminal. At some point you have to draw a line. But I wouldn't want to try that argument in front of a Federal Judge much less the Supremes. I doubt this will work.
