Did SCOTUS replace Michigan v Sitz when I wasn't looking?

Not sure...haven't Sheperdized it lately. BTW - I was commenting on the Maryland's requirements to pass the muster before our Court of Appeals. It is an interesting read and it isn't often I disagree with Rhenquist and Scalia. In that case I do.

The Dissent is more in line with previous 4th Amendment cases and contains a discussion regarding the original subject of this thread. Even the dissent in Sitz would likely agree that security checkpoints in airports are constitutional - if there was a proper protocol in place that eliminates arbitrary decisions by the screeners.

In this case, any screen of a female should be done in private by two female screeners and the subject of the screening should be allowed to have her husband/family member accompany her into the private area. I'm not sure how to handle a female traveling alone.
