I'll let the lead author of the dissent, Justice Breyer, in this case take out your argument:
**** The New York Federal District Court, to which I have referred, conducted a study of 23,000 persons admitted to the Orange County correctional facility between 1999 and 2003.These 23,000 persons underwent a strip search of the kind described. Of these 23,000 persons, the court wrote, the County encountered three incidents of drugs recovered from an inmates anal cavity and two incidents of drugs falling from an inmates underwear during the course of a strip search. The court added that in four of these five instances there may have been reasonable suspicion to search, leaving only one instance in 23,000 in which the strip search policy arguably detected additional contraband. [...] After all, those arrested for minor offenses are often stopped and arrested unexpectedly. And they consequently will have had little opportunity to hide things in their body cavities. **** 1 incident out of 23,000 that might have uncovered something illicit with a strip search that was not based on reasonable suspicion. And no incidents that found any weapons. Now, about these hypotheticals y'all keep saying aren't hypothetical... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:349398 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
