Reply #109: Dude, I'm not arguing for or supportive of metal detectors only that I could see an argument that

they could be looked as passive. Nor did I say anything about xrays other than that they should be illegal without a warrant.

Hell, even if metal detectors are considered passive, I'd say a warrant is required to search a person and determine what the metal is and what shape it takes. Such a warrant would still only be right if there was a real reason for suspicion over and above having metal (which is legal and acceptable even now depending on its form).

There has to be some line in detection J, eyes and cameras are sensors too. I agree with you but am willing to discuss a line somewhere between "don't fucking look at me" and a full body MRI with a cavity search. May not agree with said line a bit but am willing to discuss it and talk about different levels of invasiveness.
