What these searches do is get us used to infringements of our basic rights. It's the camel's nose in the tent idea. Try out a change, see how it flies. If it works, that is, if the people don't scream, then it becomes the norm. If the people do scream and bithe and moan, then they wait and try it again in another time and place.

That's why Jefferson said the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
