...thermal imagers. Anything which looks through walls can only be used with a warrant.

As I noted above, anywhere within 200 miles of the coast and the Canadian and Mexican borders is now defined as the US customs zone. It's your car that will be the place where your privacy will be subject to invasion.

And as I also noted elswhere above, small shit is rarely if ever going to get you in trouble, you're not worth the hassle to the cops, unless you make it so. And you're not worth the bad press when, more often than not, something iffy on the scan will turns out to be completely inoccuous.

These WILL be used to troll for major legal infractions, and the wording of the 4th is "unreasonable", if you manage to get caught with your ex-girlfriend tied up in the trunk, arguably no search is unreasonable. Provided this nets a lot of bad guys with only a minor inconvenience to the incorrectly targetted no great harm will be done.

Gun owners will just have to get used to showing a permit with their motor vehicle licence.

If the cops are going to harrass people for fun and profit/quotaspublic safety they have no need of a tool like this to make people's lives miserable, they have any number of other ways to circumvent the 4th when they want to on the roads.
