Would a website disclaimer banning government officials be legally binding?

[Rael]

Suppose you had a webpage and put up a disclaimer saying that you agree that you do not work for the government and that government officials are not allowed to access your site, and made them click an "I agree" button.

Assuming they did not have a warrant, would this be legally binding?

Can you have a disclaimer on your land that no governmental agents can tresspass?

Can't you word it so that it becomes a binding contract?

If you're really serious, try contacting a lawyer to see what the options are.
