We've been going through metal detecters to get into the court house for a couple decades now. Not much difference between searching a bag and looking at the xray of it. X-ray would be less intrusive.

The thing I don't understand is how it is constitutional to do stop and frisk searches in NYC. Sharpton was complaining about that yesterday, but I don't know how anyone just walking down the street can be forced to submit to a search and being frisked.

Welcome to Amerikka.

At the Federal Court House here in Pittsburgh, there is a handsome bronze plaque on the wall containing the Bill of Rights.

This is right next to the door where you are lined up to empty your pockets and get patted down and wanded (and who knows what else) before entry.

I’d LOL if it didn’t want to make me CRY.
