Of Drones, Phones and Privacy Zones



Back when I started in the privacy advocacy community -- about 20 years ago, at the ACLU -- we used to talk about the incredible shrinking Fourth Amendment.  It was a riff on the Lilly Tomlin movie – The Incredible Shrinking Woman.  In the movie, Tomlin’s character shrank because she was exposed to an experimental perfume.  The question we face today is whether the zone of privacy protected by the Fourth Amendment will shrink on account of our use of technology.
