Not only can the police search your house without a warrant, now the firefighters can too. It's all being done under the guise of protecting us from terrorism.
If they find certain things such as guns, ammunition, etc, you may get your butt hauled off to jail and perhaps end up in court trying to prove that you are not a terrorist.
That ammo you have stockpiled, that gunpowder you use for reloading, those evil looking "assault weapons" you have in your house....... all these things could get your a$$ hauled off to jail if some firefighter happens to see them while inspecting your house. Of course, I have no idea why they would be inspecting your house in the first place, but I'm sure they could think up some excuse. Since they don't need a search warrant, just about any old excuse will do.
