Only if you think that "search and seizure" covers a doctor's office, and I can't bring to mind any rulings that it does. Search and seizure is usually thought of as covering your property and person, and your physician's office is neither of those. I'm not saying I think doctor patient confidentiality is a bad thing. Obviously I do not. I am, as I often do, pointing out the difference between "This is a good idea" and "This is what the Constitution demands". They are not in any sense coterminous. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
