If the government cannot show a just cause for WHY they think "the sky is falling" in association with their suspect, the constitution mandates that they not be allowed to invade the person's privacy.

But you're so afraid of the sky falling that you want them to do it anyways.

Go over to Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq and ask them if they think the sky is falling because the government is trying to keep them scared.
