OK, I looked at all three links you provided and those three all go back to 2012.

I don't deny that bad things happen to people crossing the border on rare occasions but I don't think 3 examples from 2012 constitute as you stated in post #1 "I've been reading so many people's horror stories at the border and the one that keeps coming up as being very disturbing is strip searches without a reason." as many people's horror stories.

So exactly what is your agenda?

With respect, "I'm sure they can come up with something" doesn't really constitute an answer to my inquiry.

Does everyone who has an opinion need to have an agenda?

Should that not be up to the law makers to figure out? Having this happen to even one innocent person constitutes one person too many.Or have we become so complacent about people's individual rights.
There's nothing wrong with awareness and I don't have all the answers. I didn't think there was anything wrong with having various opinions on the subject

No, but many do.

This is my personal agenda.
I dont want to be in a scanner or x ray. I would rather strip totally naked in front of a female "what ever".
But hands on me not going to happen. Scanners no way unless I get dragged into to it and held up.

We all have our own comfort zones
But hands on me NO WAY. Same with scanners.They are to me preverted. Plus I dont know who sees it.

That's what I mean. I would never let anyone lay a hand on me. Everyone has their own comfort level. I just think we should have a choice

us I do know of people who have gone throught the scanner AND still get a very "personal" pat down.

Yes I agree. I have said this for years. I have been told if I strip naked I would either be told to put on clothes so they can "feel" me. Or/.and being arrested for indicent exposure. To that is weird to me. They rather feel you then see it is nothing there. SICK.
Keep on sticking to what you belive .

Tanja, the problem is that this thread is about a person being searched by CBP. They have much more authority that TSA.

It's unrealistic to say that a strip-search of one innocent person means that no strip-searches should be done.

I agree that such invasive searches should be absolutely minimized, but we need to be realistic about what alternatives are available and what costs (both monetary and societal) will result.

Unfortunately, law enforcement can never guarantee that no guilty person will go unpunished, nor that no innocent person will be convicted unjustly, let alone undergo unfortunate interrogation or search. No argument, though, that those should be the goals.

They do? Never knew that. That is crap though

And you are not guilty but searched very personal. What excuse do you get . Nothing. Just nightmares. And being afraid of people.

I do not care who does this strip searches at all. In the end it is the same. No respect at all. Most people are innocent.

There is, as far as I know, no caselaw on what would be required to justify a strip search. Reasonable suspicion of smuggling is sufficient to justify detention of someone at the border (case was on a pax who was thought to have swallowed drugs and refused to be x-rayed, she was held until whatever was in her stomach had passed).

SCOTUS explicitly didn't rule on what level of proof would be required for something like a strip search or cavity search (i.e. a warrant, reasonable suspicion, probable cause).

Again, this is all CBP at the border that's being discussed, has nothing to do with TSA.

CBP are federal law enforcement officers.

Some TSA employees are also but not the screeners.

So what I have read now. Is that any CBP can order this? That is sick . I would still not do it. I would never sign anything. In the end sue them. Cause this is sick.Are they crazzy?YES.
