Agents of the Software Agency (SA) Check Companies to Be

Agents of the Software Agency (SA) check companies to be sure all the software they use is properly licensed, not copied. SA agents arrive at Bob's Drugs to conduct an inspection. Bob asks the agent to see her search warrant, otherwise he will not admit her. The SA contends that a warrant is not needed to conduct a routine search to see if SA regulations are being followed. The Supreme Court is likely to say that warrants by SA officials are:

A) not needed to search property regulated by Congress given its authority under the commerce clause
B) not needed to search business property because the Fourth Amendment (search and seizure) only applies to persons and their property
C) not needed because the Third Amendment (quartering of federal officials) allows entry into property by government officials as needed for law enforcement purposes
D) needed because the Third Amendment (quartering of federal officials) does not allow entry into property by government officials for law enforcement purposes without a warrant
E) none of the other choices
