Wiretapping? - How About Warrantless Strip Searches?

So I wonder what the Congress will say when Americans begin complaining that they have been strip searched without their consent or without a warrant. Though this may sound like a fun scene to anyone as kinky as me, it’s not when it comes to real life. Not only are strip searches and other body searches no fun, they are pretty much illegal, at least until now.

You see in their rush to get stuff passed and get out of town for a vacation, Congress inadvertently gave Bush expanded powers to search and spy on American citizens. What the hell were they thinking? Well they weren’t. The language of the latest Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is intentionally complex and a bit vague when first read. Why? As with anything Bush does it’s a secret!

“This may give the administration even more authority than people thought,” said David Kris, an ex senior Justice Department lawyer in both the Bush and Clinton administrations. And why am I not surprised? So mind your manners and remember what your Mom taught you, always wear clean underwear, you never know when you may be strip searched.
