there is a guy in florida who filed a lawsuit(along with the ACLU) against the Tampa Bay Bucs because he felt that the pat down prior to entering the stadium is a violation of his rights. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/10/AR2005111001985.html i just dont get it so i ask this of the readers of the blog. if some bad apple throws a bottle that was smuggled into the stadium and cuts some kids face open, should the ACLU and this easily offended person be held liable? now dont get me wrong, i understand that the NFL is looking for bombs but i can remember being pat down sometimes going into games prior to 9/11 not to mention at almost every concert that i have attended. they are not always searching for bombs but for other dangerous or “non tolerated” items to increase the safety all. what is this guy trying to prove? if people have nothing concealed then there wont be a problem. whats next, filing a lawsuit against the secuity at the airport for screening your luggage and making you pass through a metal detector? where do you draw the line and more importantly, why?
this is my favorite excerpt from this site Take a walk into the NYCLU’s Manhattan headquarters - which it shares with other organizations - and you’ll find a sign warning visitors that all bags are subject to search.
