Miles wants to privatise the Fourth Amendment. Lovely idea. But property rights are enforced by — wait for it — the same state that runs the surveillance apparatus. A property deed doesn't encrypt your messages. A title registry doesn't stop a NSL. The problem is structural: the state controls both the law and the enforcement. What protects a whistleblower isn't ownership — it's operational security. Encryption. Anonymity protocols. Decentralised relays. The architecture Miles dismisses is the only thing that's ever actually protected a source.
