No. Let's say somebody goes to their neighbor's house to use their phone. They do that once or twice or whatever it might be. Our amendment makes sure this new provision doesn't open up that house and everybody in it and every phone call they have in the house to unlimited Government surveillance. It requires what has been normally required under the law, that the law enforcement people ascertain that the person is in the house at the time so it is credible that they would be using that phone again.
