This report is a pretty decent review of the current situation.

The sad part: the word "Constitution" appears only 7 times, "Fourth
Amendment" (unreasonable search & seizure) appears only twice, and
"Fifth Amendment" appears only 7 times (?!?).  The Third Amendment,
which governs the extent to which individuals are required to supply
resources (presumably including computer code & computer cycles)
for military purposes, is not mentioned, nor is the Second
Amendment, which provides for the right of the people to keep and
bear Arms [presumably also defensive arms -- e.g., *armor* and
therefore *encryption*], is also not mentioned.

The First Amendment is mentioned but once in passing, although this
Amendment was used to defuse the first "encryption war".
