Great thank you what security at home now and questions about whether the CIA.

Could spy on people through their refrigerators.

There's -- but there's and I know there's this report out from wired magazine's national security blog.

This is the CIA director David Petraeus recently spoke about Smart technology in our homes.

Technology that connects television or -- of into the Internet.

It's -- supposed to make our lives easier but director Petraeus says spies could use that technology to keep an eye on people without their knowledge.

Let's take this to the judge Fox News senior judicial analyst judge.

-- -- politics and always with us I mean if you think this that this CIA is not supposed to collect evidence or do anything in the United States that the job.

Of the FBI.

Well it's not only the job of the FBI but the statute creating the Central Intelligence Agency in 1947.

Specifically.

Prevents them from collecting information about individuals in the United States and can -- collect scientific data can they collect atmospheric information.

Can they collect information from public sources of course they -- but we're talking about targeting our spying on a human being in the person's home.

Absolutely prohibited under the law so it's a bit of a head scratch your.

As to -- General Petraeus.

A man of great repute and as far as I know great great honor and integrity would say this he's either revealing what might happen.

-- he's saying you better watch out this won't happen under my watch but I want you don't know what's out there.

Or to the consternation of the people who work for him he's revealing what they're doing if they're doing it well they then that's -- to come in my home.

Correct submitting it to search warrant for that -- yes they do the -- government needs a search warrant to commend your home personally directly.

Or virtually I'm not talking about -- they're chasing a bad guy in Tehran mamma talking about an emergency situation the government can't use for example.

Heat seeking.

Devices from from a vehicle in front of your house is Supreme Court has said no that's the same -- going in the house and the get in the house.

Yet have a search warrant Antarctic get a search warrant.

It can't be a fishing expedition you have to go to a judge and explain under oath that the U being -- federal agents.

What evidence of crimes there is in the house and it but you know if they can come collect whatever they want.

Illegally and whatever there unless they use it to try to prosecutor to try to affect some and we might never even though that's the regrettable and sad part about this unless the evidence that they -- is used in court or in some public way we will never know what they have obtained from us.

So without scaring people to staying awake at night is General Petraeus revealing what is already going on -- -- General Petraeus saying watch out what you buy because bad people in a future government could do this with -- I don't know what the general meant for the government.

What I saw this I thought was one of these.

Crazy emails we won't get in this film blogger for -- from over the weekend but he said it and he's the director of the CIA so do you think he knows that I have -- milk Heineken Red Bull and water and some Diet Coke in my refrigerator it does now.

He does -- I know but I.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Or that tells them what's in the refrigerator or what's being cooked in the -- it depends on what kind of chip they put in there -- and chip in Moscow right here and -- same here.

-- you know as far as I know you're right I mean all -- that's think troubling aspect of this we don't know.

Where the computer chips are and we don't know who in the government is doing well with him postal cottage cheese in there -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Thank you judge.
