seems like how you can use what you "observe" has some questions too.
if i observe someone keying in a code to unlock their door, that doesn't give me the right to use it; i'd still need a warrant to enter/search, would i not? assuming it's not biometric, if there is a warrant, the law can compel someone to disclose passwords or codes to unlock devices. so it sure seems like a lot of complication, risk, and expense to get something they could get legally if they had grounds and couldn't use anyway if they didn't have legal grounds?
of course, competence, sanity, and legality are not hallmarks of the current head of FBI, DOJ, or WH...
