Is this one of your not-a-libertarian arguments?

Huh?!

It's "we the people" who told you you can't get on an airplane without being searched. We decided, as a society, to elect representatives who would act to help prevent airline hijackings. The people who brought this to you was all of us, your friends and neighbors. No totalitarian imposition of airport searches was necessary - we asked for this.

And does the Constitution fit into this equation anywhere, or is that irrelevant?

Just thinking of a thread a while back, wherein you made what was essentially a libertarian argument for several rounds, and then closed with "BTW, I'm not a libertarian". Quack, quack ;)

The Constitution is as meaningful or as meaningless as we all decide it is. In the end, it can't protect us from ourselves.
