The ACLU's stance seems reasonable to me.  They're just saying you should have probable cause before doing a search of an area that people would consider private.

As long as everyone in line cant see the pictures, why would it mater?

If this can stop a guy getting a bomb on a plane I am all for it. The ACLU should concern itself with something relevant.

So if the cops had a sensor that would allow them to detect marijuana in your house without entering.... would that be ok?

Pot in someones private residense is no threat to anyone.

Every person getting on a plane has the potential to kill every person on board and more if they fly it into something.

Just doing some clever word subsitution.

So if the cops had a sensor that would allow them to detect anthrax in your house without entering.... would that be ok?

So if the cops had a sensor that would allow them to detect kiddie porn in your house without entering.... would that be ok?

So if the cops had a sensor that would allow them to detect burglars in your house without entering.... would that be ok?

So if the cops had a sensor that would allow them to detect fire hazards in your house without entering.... would that be ok?

So if the cops had a sensor that would allow them to detect unregistered assault weapons in your house without entering.... would that be ok?


Nothing more for you to see here.  Move along.  Move along.

My neighbor asks why I spend so much time feeding the birds...

I've read that scientists now conclude that the dinosaurs have evolved into the birds.. and if they ever turn back I don't want them pissed off at me.



Hawk, man, that's the best signature line I've ever seen!  

:D :D :D :D

Gofaster, GTORa2, I think you're a little too 'flexible' with your rights.  

Don't worry, your complacency is compensated for by those of us who still believe in the ideals set down in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  Just let us do our jobs and continue to reap the benefits, we don't mind.

Hit the nail on the head.  According to the 4th amm. it's all about that.  

Tgt I know this is going to piss you off but...  

I've actually asked people drop their drawers on the side of the highway.   Had a guy with a half a kilo wedged between his cheecks and another with heroin in his undies.  Also had a female pull a razor out of her panties on me.  

If you are in your home you have nothing to worry about (unless they get a warrant, then it's shame on you).

What's wrong with the current methods of search? Metal detectors, explosive sniffers, etc. all seem to work.

The reason the 911 attackers were successful was because they exploited a flaw in the policy, not in the search procedures.

I think it's unneccessary and intrusive. Random searches for contraband are not legal.

I agree with you, no search should be conducted without due probable cause.  What about all of the people that said they would give up rights for safety?  probably the same folks that now think racial profiling is ok.

I don't think we should give up individual rights when it is possible for the individual to waive his rights.
