If these were different times, I might agree about police searches being intrusive; secure in my person, and all that Bill O'Right stuff.
But, have you noticed that there is this international network of ideologs bent on our total obliteration? That part kind of worries me more than random searches, as I move about public places (the subway).
The above opinion was given with all due respect to you.
(PS: I do like the fact that the NYACLU lost)
In other words, "I believe in freedom, but I'm always ready to trade some of it for a bit of security." On this forum, we all know what Franklin had to say about that...
