There's a difference between: 1. The government making a copy of your house key. 2. The government using it to enter your home. 3. The government looking around once it's inside your home. 4. The government using knowledge it gains from looking around your home to prosecute you. These may be true, but it's not a reliable or meaningful difference, especially when the public justice system has no influence on how far through these four steps the government goes. The fourth amendment exists for a reason, and the NSA's hand to god that they won't abuse their power really means zilch once step 1 is achieved.
