You are reading it wrong. The Constitution doesn't grant rights to the individual, the Constitution limits the rights of the Government. Don't look for "suspicious manner" as something a person can do and still keep his rights, look at it as something the Government can use to take away his rights.
You won't find "suspicious manner" anywhere in the Constitution of the United States - it is not grounds for the Govt to take away anyone's rights.
In particular, you should be looking at the 4th Amendment. That amendment mentions probable cause, not suspicious manner. And while it doesn't characterize "unreasonable," I can't believe a policy with an 88% error rate could ever be acceptable.
As for the rest, I have no desire to rehash the last 106 posts. Post #93 seems to sum things up pretty well.
