I guess they will be unreasonable in your interpretation of your rights, but in mine, they are totally and completely reasonable, and in fact, I feel it would be downright remis to not do so.

What will your stance be when some terrorist kills 20,000 people at the World Series or the Super Bowl?

It comes down to the interpretation of what reasonable and unreasonable is. I suspect in 1776, it would be very unreasonable to search people entering a sports event. But back then, the technology was lacking for mass destruction, and there were no leaders of rogue states urging terrorists to eliminate infidels.

The beauty of the constitution is it is worded to allow for interpretation. Those guys were simply brilliant back then. They knew times would change. They were not stuck in the moment, as many are today.

To answer your questions - yes, to all of those examples. And in all cases, I was glad it was occuring to all those around me as well.
