"except that you can argue that it is constitutional, based on the premumble."
That's a stretch, considering "secure the blessings of liberty " that follows. Anyway, read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preamble_to_the_United_States_Constitution I like this part: The Preamble serves solely as an introduction, and does not assign powers to the federal government<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States> ,[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preamble_to_the_United_States_Constitution#cite_note-1> nor does it provide specific limitations on government action. Due to the Preamble's limited nature, no court has ever used it as a decisive factor in case adjudication <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjudication>,[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preamble_to_the_United_States_Constitution#cite_note-2>except as regards frivolous litigation<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frivolous_litigation> .[3]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preamble_to_the_United_States_Constitution#cite_note-3> More than likely, the government would somehow try to use the commerce clause to enact this type of measure "problem is that measuring body fat content can be expensive, 9 or 10different caliper measurements done on a very regular basis. It can be quite expensive." Really? Maybe if one hires a doctor or nurse to do it. Since anyone can do it with a little training, I wouldn't think hiring a doctor or nurse would not be necessary. Plenty of unemployed out there who would be willing to do it on the cheap. Maybe even some illegal immigrants. They'll probably just use BMI, a horrendous metric.
