TSA Wants to Scan You In Your Neighborhood

[From article]
"the Transportation Security Administration, which has reportedly been contemplating expanding its controversial X-ray body-scanning program from airports to public events, mass transit and possibly even the streets where you live.
[. . .]
The Fourth Amendment states explicitly: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated."

Hard to square that with the mission of the Homeland Security Department and its intrusive TSA, which treat every American equally -- as a potential criminal and terrorist.
[. . .]
And unless the Constitution no longer means anything, it's way past time to insist that our government stop treating us as potential bombers and murderers."
