So ruled the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (which also once banned the Pledge of Alegiance), granting Fourth Amendment rights to employees in certain situations.
Fourth Amendment search-and-seizure rights over e-mail–and text messages–now are being granted to all government workers and to all other employees whose employers contract out either or both the e-mail and cell phone services (very few companies outside of those like Verizon would own their own cellular service).
However, some 65 percent of all company e-mail servers are owned by the companies themselves.
So, if you go in for a job interview, and at the end they ask if you have any questions, you can say, "Do you own your own e-mail servers?"
