Searches and Civil Liberties.

I think this is pretty simple. You can be subject to a search when entering a public transportation system. I hate to tell you this, but you can be searched almost at any time when your in a public place. If an officer has "probable cause" they can put you to a search, and if you decline they can arrest/detain you until they can get a warrant to do so. In New York city they are allowing people to decline a search, but then you can not use the service they are providing. If you go to an airport this is virtually the same.

In the end I do not believe this takes away rights; if you don't want to be searched then do not use the service. You can easily get into your car and drive.

Here is a warning to the government though. If you (the government) decide to take our freedoms - be prepared to be at war with not only the people who believe in our Constitution, but with those in the military that will not stand by and watch as our rights are stripped from us. I am not saying this is the case so far, but we are walking a dangerous line. We can not let the terrorists win; we can not allow them to have an effect on our rights. If we do, then we might as well just surrender now.

Until next time,
