First we get searched to go on airplanes. It might save a life - everyone agrees - saving lives is Good. Then we get searched to go onto a subway - it might save a life. Everyone agrees - saving lives is Good. Then we get searched going on Trains - It might save a life - everyone agrees - saving lives is Good. Then we get searched going on busses. Then we get searched entering shopping malls. Then we get searched on the street, or wherever we may be. I don't think it's possible to effectively defend against terrorism without living in what amounts to a prison. Are we willing to do this? I'm not. Aren't we supposed to be free from unlawful searches? Is any search lawful now because it's in the interest of national security? That seems mighty broad in scope to me.
