I thought this was of interest as it sounds like at least one state is
trying to implement their own Patriot Act type laws/policies.

Seems like a search for anything will now lead to suspicion for
anything convenient.

"Today, the Colorado Supreme Court became the first state
supreme court in the country to address the constitutionality
of a keyword warrant-a digital dragnet tool that allows law
enforcement to identify everyone who searched the internet for
a specific term or phrase. In a weak and ultimately confusing
opinion, the court upheld the warrant, finding the police
relied on it in good faith. EFF filed two amicus briefs and was
heavily involved in the case.

Yep. I can see looking into the search histories of someone you already
have other evidence on, but just doing so to "identify everyone" would make
the Cardinal proud (and seem like Big Brother antics to the rest of us).
