There is a emergency/safety exception but that is limited to where a threat is though to be - a house or two. NOT entire neighborhoods. Our consitution has been trampeled over and over again, and the biggest terrorist threat to this nation is not the Chechans or foreign Muslims - it is those in DC who are violating the constitution and your rights.

Give it time. It won't be long before the likes of ex-LAPD cop murdered (Donner?) and this Dimagio kidnapper types will be executed via Predator Drone on our domestic US soil claiming "it would be too dangerous to send police or federal agents in."
