right. this tends to be my thinking, too. it's less about trampled rights and more about fondled nuts, aka 'the ick factor' involved in this issue.
which is why I refuse to get all 'woot, woot' with people on it.
once the issue has lost it's 'sexual' attraction (double entendre there), it will become the much-ignored ACLU's battle and people will go back to business as usual as if it never happened.
