Supreme Court Says Strip Search of Child Illegal - NYTimes.com

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES! The decision was 8 - 1 that the 13 year-old girl's rights were violated when she was strip searched for 2 extra-strength Advil.  As Justice Stevens wrote:

“...it does not require a constitutional scholar to conclude that a nude search of a 13-year-old child is an invasion of constitutional rights of some magnitude.”


And of course, it was Justice Thomas who dissented. As Gruber so aptly put, Thomas is creep of the week.
