Let these jokers be arrogant enough to think they can weasel out of all this. The way things are going if they have any brains at all they would be looking at countries to relocate to. I don't want to be left with all this popcorn.
You should have no problem answering questions from the police, letting your person, house, car, or other property be searched without a warrant, giving the government access to your emails, phone calls, voicemails, texts, IMs, thoughts, etc. In fact if you have nothing to hide you should have no problem being held indefinitely, tortured or having your daughter raped.
People who worry about what the government does are usually terrorists. The government knows better than anyone else, and they obviously are looking out for everyones best interest, so let them do whatever they want.

So if you are kid who is too young to play online you get 2 free games instead of one.
Back in the day, Andy and Barney would have gone over to the house and knocked on the door.
Oh, and Sarah probably would have called over to make sure everything was OK, maybe have even called the next door neighbor to see if they had noticed anything.
Cant justify billion dollar budgets with that kind of police work.

She now has a couple options.
She may now tell you she has performed an extensive cost/benefit analysis and this is truly keeping her in business.
She may say wow I never looked at it objectively and tried to run the numbers, and will now do so.
