As the American Civil Liberties Union puts it, "There was no reason to suspect that a thirteen-year-old honor-roll student with a clean disciplinary record had adopted drug-smuggling practices associated with international narcotrafficking, or to suppose that other middle-school students would willingly consume ibuprofen that was stored in another student's crotch."

This is an ad hominem. The reasonability of the argument stands or falls on its own merits, and whether or not it was espoused by the ACLU.

With a single national standard imposed by the courts everywhere. Leftist love centralized control.
