You watch. There will be FReepers on this thread screaming that it would be a threat to the Constitution to allow searches....

Sheesh.........

I used to go to see the NE Patriots play back in the 80's and they always searched us for beer cans and bottles, backpacks included.

Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch declined comment on the ruling.

What's this clown's problem? This story is literally front-page news, and he has no comment?

[no] "blanket searches of bulky bags and backpacks in the absence of a specific threat"

That's stupid. My purse is searched when I go to a San Francisco museum, and I even had to "check it" (leave it at the coat-check) for the Dali exhibit. (I've stopped going to museums, as a result. Until they apply the rule fairly, and start checking the men's pockets and jackets, I refuse to have my privacy invaded. Their rule makes it look like women are the terrorists.)

So they're stupid if they don't check everyone thoroughly, especially at the volatile conventions.
