We hold that what was heard by the use of the detectaphone was not made illegal by trespass or unlawful entry. But as they have declined to do so, and as we think this case is indistinguishable in principle from Olmstead's, we have no occasion to repeat here the dissenting views in that case with which we agree. 605, 47 U.S.C.A.

And, while a search warrant, with its procedural safeguards, has generally been regarded as prerequisite to the reasonableness of a search in those areas of essential privacy, such as the home, to which the Fourth Amendment applies (see Agnello v. United States, 269 U. S. 20, 269 U. S. 32), some method of responsible administrative supervision could be evolved for the use of the detectaphone which, like the valid search warrant, would adequately protect the privacy of the individual against irresponsible and indiscriminate intrusions by Government officers. They argue that the case may be distinguished. 607. That case was the subject of prolonged consideration by this Court. It will be conceded that if the language of the Amendment were given only a literal construction, it might not fit the case now presented for review.

U.S. 438 Common law, - A warrant can be devised which would permit the use of a detectaphone. The protection intended and afforded by the statute is of the means of communication and not of the secrecy of the conversation. 1, p. 625. Success was frustrated only by the refusal of a creditor to release for the offered percentage of his claim. The opinion of the court of appeals (Pet. 775, I am not prepared to say that this purpose necessarily makes all detectaphone 'searches' unreasonable, no matter what the circumstances, or the procedural safeguards employed. But it has not been the rule or practice of this Court to permit the scope and operation of broad principles ordained by the Constitution to be restricted, by a literal reading of its provisions, to those evils and phenomena that were contemporary with its framing. So considered, there was neither a 'communication' nor an 'interception' within the meaning of the Act. In asking us to hold that the information obtained was obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and that its use at the trial was, therefore, banned by the Amendment, the petitioners recognize that they must reckon with our decision in Olmstead v.

The petitioners contend that the trespass committed in Shulman's office when the listening apparatus was there installed, and what was learned as the result of that trespass, was of some assistance on the following day in locating the receiver of the detectaphone in the adjoining office and this connection between the trespass and the listening resulted in a violation of the Fourth Amendment. See also Tudor, James Otis, p. 66, and John Adams, Works, vol. The views of the court, and of the dissenting justices, were expressed clearly and at length. [316 Nor can I see any rational basis for denying to the modern means of communication the same protection that is extended by the Amendment to the sealed letter in the mails.

Judicial review and appeals, - The suggested ground of distinction is that the Olmstead case dealt with the tapping of telephone wires, and the court adverted to the fact that, in using a telephone, the speaker projects his voice beyond the confines of his home or office, and therefore assumes the risk that his message may be intercepted.
