Are you a prisoner?
Are you a suspected terrorist with papers and effects?
Are you going to jail? Indefiantely? With no right to confromt a witness?
All this seems to strengthen what I percieve as MY right, and a few hundred million fellow American's right, to live in peace and liberty. None of this affects any of us. If you are a terrorist or are supporting terrorists, then maybe you have a problem on your hands.

Have you ever been to the airport and gone through the security gates?
Have you ever gone to a sports complex or concert?
Have you ever gone throught a sobriety checkpoint?
Have you ever gone through a seal belt checkpoint?
These are all examples of unreasonable searches without probable cause. Maybe they can be justified for safety, but they are intruding on your constitutional rights regardless of the reasoning behind them.
