Most Americans "Okay" With Trashing the Constitution

According to Rasmussen Reports, most airline passengers are okay with full-body scans and/or extensive pat-downs that they are doing at the airports now.

Interesting. I wonder when it was that most people became indifferent to the government totally ignoring the Constitution of the United States and violating our constitutional rights. Do you know what the 4th amendment to the constitution says? Well, just in case you're one of the "most", here's what it says:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
What that means is that it's unlawful for anyone to search us without "probable cause". That means they have to have a reason to suspect someone and to take action against them. It's why the police can't come and force their way into your home to search it anytime they want. They have to have a warrant. It's also why they can't pull you over in your car for no reason and search your car. Likewise, they can't stop you while you're walking down the street and give you a pat-down just because they want to. These would be unreasonable searches as described in the 4th amendment and totally against the law. Yet they do it in the airport every day! They search anyone or everyone randomly, at their whim, for no reason at all.

But for some unknown reason "most" of the sheeple populating this country now just don't seem to care about the most precious freedoms we're lucky enough to have. We have continually fought and died to get and keep these freedoms throughout the history of this country and now we say, "Oh I don't have a problem with it. I will let them do it if it keeps me safe." They are so uninformed and ignorant as to the very rights they have that are being violated, they meekly submit. Just because the government says so.

To all you sheeple that don't care about the government taking away your constitutional rights, you disgust me. You don't deserve to live in America.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin
