Is this court composed of members that reside on the planet Earth???

They're CONVICTED FELONS. That alone should give suspicion!

But even if it doesn't, why then are FINGERPRINTS allowed to be compared?

There is no reasonable suspicion there either and I'm POSITIVE that the prisoners did not give their finger print samples willingly.

Or for that matter, why are prisons allowed to strip search inmates without suspicion?

I swear, this is just one more nail in the coffin of Common Sense.

9th District court rules on DNA

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- In a move that could impact hundreds of criminal cases, a three-year-old law that requires federal prisoners and parolees to provide DNA samples for an FBI database was declared unconstitutional Thursday by a federal appeals court.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that requiring blood samples for the database amounts to an illegal invasion of privacy because they are taken without legal suspicion.

The court said that is a violation of inmates' Fourth-Amendment rights against illegal searches.

Blood samples taken from federal prisoners have been used to convict hundreds of people.
