U.S. customs is a rather hot topic for me...I am very upset at the invasiveness people are subject too while passing through passport control and customs.

Think about this:

If US. customs can justify searching and questioning a person when they enter or leave the country, why is this not a violation of the Constitution?

If it is ok to search someone when they enter/leave the country, why not do it at state boarders?

how about between any two cities?

or between two neighborhoods?

or between any two points that one might travel?

well forget travel...why not just randomly barge into people's homes and conduct searches for anything...like 128-bit encrypted crossword puzzles that were emailed from other countries.

I don't know about everyone else, but I do mind being stopped, questioned, and searched, when I have done nothing wrong...I don't care what boarder it is.
