#6This should serve as a reminder to everyone to donate/support EFF and ACLU, as two of the very few organizations that watches for our rights.
It is also a reminder that as we get more numb to issues like this, it gets worse.
It is probably time to call your representatives and raise your voice.

#10Have there been any court rulings that limit searches at the border at all? Are there any lines at all upon which we can rely on?
Even a tiny exception to the "4th ammendment exception" might allow for crafting safer transit.
