A US Federal Court sided with the "DHS Civil Rights/Civil
Liberties Impact Assessment of its electronics search policy, concluding
that suspicionless searches do not violate the First or Fourth
Amendments. The report said that a reasonable suspicion standard is
inadvisable because it could lead to litigation and the forced
divulgence of national security information, and would prevent border
officers from acting on inchoate 'hunches,' a method that it says has
sometimes proved fruitful," said the ACLU in a statement following the
decision.
In other words, hunches, top secret secrets, and the fear of getting sued trump the Bill of Rights. I feel safer!
