It is the same as with the right to bear arms and separation of church and state. The Founding Fathers didn't mean guns in your homes or being able to pray in schools. It was another world back then. We have to allow judges and the government adapt and interpret the Constitution to our situation.

Even if it is a 90 year old woman or someone with a doctors affidavit that says they have a medical apparatus or a child who has been sexually abused, I say let the TSA search and search away. Search every cavity. If it keeps me safe. Fine and detain if anyone pulls that bologna Constitutional crap. If you don't have anything to hide, what are you scared of; if it keeps us safe?

If it keeps us safe, let the government come into our homes and search. Let them search our work and personal computers and track our phone conversations. I have nothing to hide.

If someone is driving down the road and the police get a tip you may have something explosive or dangerous, they don't have time to go before a judge and get a search warrant. Let them pull us over and strip you on the side of the road and impound the car. If it keeps us safe.

I think the government has a right to put out a shoot to kill order, like they did on U.S. Citizen Anwar Al-Awlaki, without a military tribunal or trial. If it keeps us safe.

I say let the government check my debit card and bank account to see what I'm buying. Check my library records or the movies I rent. If it keeps us safe. Put a tracking devise on vehicles. Put up security cameras in my neighborhood and listening devises in our homes. If you don't have anything to hide, you shouldn't be worried.

If it keeps us safe, we should be willing to give up freedoms and liberties, right?
