technology amendment

With the recent debate surrounding Presidential powers to monitor the telecommunications of suspected citizens, as well as the discovery of the NSA, a highly secret department of the government, it seems that our Constitutional Liberties are again unsafe. If we adhere to the protective state point of view, and believe that the Constitution protects or right to privacy, then could a new Amendment be added which would in some way protect our virtual privacy? People currently fear, justifiably so, the threat of identity theft. The amount of information available to those who know how to get and exploit it, greatly enhances ability of cyber criminals to gain access to any conceivable amount of private information; an unpleasant thought. However, while it is true that most people are likely to have their identity stolen in their lifetime, this definition can be broad and the odds of a catastrophic theft of personal information is actually quite low. If we imagine a war-time government, with vast funding, legislative capabilities, and access to the cutting edge of personal surveillance, it is not at all inconceivable to picture our federal government unabashedly mining our private information for potentially misguided reasons of 'security'. Can this amount and level of sensitive information be scrutinized, without any limits on those investigating? Clearly, if ever there were a contemporary reason to adjust the constitution, it would be to protect the new individual rights found within the realms of technology.
