Wrong.  The 3rd amendment was about stopping the Government from shifting
the cost of the Army from the Government to individual families.  It was
about not taking people's resources without representation and due process.
It certainly applies in this case.  Now whether some brain-dead Supreme
Court agrees is a separate unrelated matter.
