I believe it is but if not it most certainly needs to be illegal. People are not going to put up with this crap. I have had many debates with Freepers that searches at public venues are illegal. Being a "private business" does not grant police power to search individuals. If a business is going to be open to the public then they must accept they have no right to search anyone. Selling me a ticket to a football game does not grant a right to search me in any way they want.
Lawyers will be along any second citing court cases and such to the effect of it's their venue and their ticket bla bla bla.
If you believe this then put it to the extreme test. Lets say a venue sells tickets to a sporting event and when patrons arrive they are subjected to strip searches before being allowed to enter the venue. Is this within their right because the venue by virtue of you buying a ticket can make whatever rules they want? If strip searches are not ok then how are any searches of individual persons ok?
Lastly, ask yourself do you want every place you go to be searching you electronically? The grocery store, the 711, Home Depot, the city park, the trendy downtown sidewalk.
Is that how we want to live? If not we will need to outlaw this outrageous trend. My suggestions would be amendments to the state constitution making any searches by private entities illegal as they should be.
Liberals don’t give a crap about laws, and too many conservatives don’t give a crap that liberals don’t give a crzp about laws. That is how we’ve had over 30,000,gun laws shoved down our throats, with the left screaming about how none of them are ‘sensible gun laws’, and pushing for further and further restrictions to our inalienable rights
Better yet, someone create a counter device that detects such instruments and creates a reverse pulse that destroys same.
