Unreasonable search and seizure is clearly prohibited by the 4th amendment. This should not even be a matter of debate. There should not be any search made on any citizen unless there is reasonable to cause to suspect that individual. To search everyone is to presume guilt which also flies int he face of our legal citizens. It seems that illegal citizens and terrorists now enjoy more rights than do the very citizens of our nation.

I'm not sure why this issue has exploded all off a sudden. These searches have been going on for a long time with not a word from the press. Now it seems to be a subject they can't talk enough about.

Every time in the past the media has become stuck on something it turned out Obama and the Administration were busy doing many other things while the public was distracted. I cannot help but wonder what Obama and his administration are trying to pass now a they enjoy the cover of the airplane searches.

As for the searches at airports you would think that is the only place a terrorist can or will attack. No one seems able to articulate just how this would help us. All the other bomb attempts would not have been stopped with such measures, though they could have been stopped simply by checking the no fly list or listening to the terrorist's father who reported him.

Yet for some reason they would rather offend our 4th amendment rights, clearly laid out in the constitution than do a little profiling. We certainly wouldn't want to discriminate against a terrorist, after all this might make them hate us? Oh silly me, they already do.

We have a president and administration that seems bother with almost every aspect of the constitution. They have worked very hard at taking away many of our property rights, our right to be free of unreasonable search, our freedom of speech to use such words as the "N" word, and now the "W" word. If it wasn't so serious it would be comical; adults using letters and spelling so the "kids" won't know what's being said.

Americans ought to start showing civil disobedience to these things, but our wonderful leaders so control the conversation that they frame these things from some moral high ground, they themselves don't abide by. It is like making people feel guilty to criticize welfare because it must mean you don't care about the poor or want to see them starve. If you criticize these searches then you must not care about safety. If you speak of God then you are "Forcing" your religion on someone. These an many more things have been taken to new heights of absurdity.

We need to find our spine and our voices again! We need to make it abundantly clear that the government has become far too overbearing. They need to restrain themselves to what is in the constitution and nothing more.
