"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."
The IV Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

Seems to me that the new body scan and personal pat down procedures by the TSA violates this article of the Constitution with regards to the majority of the citizens of the USA.

Are you an American ????

"You cannot become Americans if you think of yourself in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American."

End of Democracy

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that the democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, followed by a dictatorship".
Alexander Tyler

ie folks: there ain't no such thing as a free lunch!!!!
