The searches violate the Constitution. The searches are illegal. The searches violate our rights.

Unfortunately, I do not think those first two statements are supportable under the law as it is, and the last is a bare assertion. If, as I said above, you would like to discuss how the law should be, I am willing to discuss that as well....

**********************

The law "as it is" is based upon the Constitution. Any law that does not conform with the Constitution is illegal. The searches violate the 4th Amendment.

The searches violate the Constitution. I say so because the Federal government is NOT allowed to conduct searches without cause. "It's your turn" is not a reason to search someone.

The searches violate our rights. The 4th Amendment recognizes our right of privacy. If we are searched without cause, our right has been violated.
