4th Amendment Unconstitutional

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Random bag searches by New York police at subway stations are constitutional and an effective means of combating terrorism, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday.

"In light of the thwarted plots to bomb New York City's subway system, its continued desirability as a target, and the recent bombings of transportation systems in Madrid, Moscow, and London, the risk to public safety is substantial and real," the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals said in its ruling."


This is a search and seizure. Are there warrants associated with these searches? Specific search warrants, as described in the 4th amendment? I will not suppress my 4th amendment rights. I encourage people to walk with a copy of the Bill of Rights and to encounter these police with it, or more specifically, the judges who decided upon the case. I believe that the Constitution can be upheld even in modern times.
