"A federal judge for the Eastern District of Virginia has ruled that the user of any computer that connects to the Internet should not have an expectation of privacy because computer security is ineffectual at stopping hackers."
By this logic nothing is private, as your homes windows, door locks, lack of adamantium walls, roof, and floor do little to prevent a dedicated burglar. Is there some sort of process to remove idiot judges?
