Screening emails for illegal activity

edit

Did this part of the 2007 decision get overturned in the 2010 case? If not it seems this is relevant to understanding the legality of NSA email surveillance.

But the reasonable expectation of privacy of an e-mail user goes to the content of the e-mail message. The fact that a computer scans millions of e-mails for signs of pornography or a virus does not invade an individual's content-based privacy interest in the e-mail and has little bering on his expectation of privacy in the content. In fact, these screening processes are analogous to the post office screening packages for evidence of drugs or explosives, which does not expose the content of written documents eclipsed in the packages. Warshak v. United States, 490 F.3d 455, 474 (6th Cir. 2007), reh'g en banc granted, opinion vacated (Oct. 9, 2007). Waters.Justin (talk) 02:58, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
