POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

I am sooooo CONFUSED.

I feel ya Vinnie. So I am hoping that the Constitutional Law Professor currently occupying the Oval Office can explain to me how the "enhanced" TSA pat downs don't violate the 4th Amendment.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

How, exactly is the pat down of 3 year old child...who is screaming and begging you not to touch her reasonable? How is the fondling of people's "junk" reasonable? And doesn't the 4th Amendment require probable cause and not a random "hey you" before you can be searched? Why is it that the police can't just randomly wander into people's homes and say let me read your diary, but some weirdo working for a "government agency" can put their hands somewhere, that if anyone else did it, I'd shoot them with no other cause than you were number 6?

But I'm just a girl, and apparently too stupid to live because I don't vote Democrat, so I could be wrong.
