Walmart searches are not enunmerated, but unreasonable searches are, -- in the 4th, as you well know.

WalMart cannot go to your house and search, if you are in WalMart's house they can search.

Oath or not, you are bound to protect & defend our Constitution as the Law of the Land.

As soon as the Anti-WalMart search Amendment passes, I'll defend it.

My, how proud it must make you to claim our constitutional principles do not apply to merchants.

Go to a movie theater and yell fire, see how your 1st Amendment rights apply. Or an airport and yell bomb.

-- Since when are merchants exempt from our rule of law?

Again, show me the law that says WalMarts can't search you on WalMart property.

This is typical, for instance, of those who deny that the 2nd does not apply to merchants, -- that they can ban guns from employees & customers cars. Ring a bell?

Bring cases on both to the Supreme Court and see which survives.

Show me a law that says they are allowed to search me. I can not search people just because they are on my property so why should they be able to. They can of course declare me PNG.

When approached by someone in Loss Prevention my first response is always curt "Request Denied" and I keep walking. Most of them are clueless enough to not know what to do next.

Read post #77 on walmarts 'right' to search unreasonably.

Cute.

Both examples are criminal acts when there are no bombs or fires. Get real.

I'd welcome such cases and the clearing of the 'constitutional air' they would raise. -- Your anti-constitutional 'pro-merchant' position would be left with no legs to stand on.
