Before 9/11 and after are no different, only now the feds tell us what they are doing, but have been doing it all along, anyway. And, of course, our local governments never thought we had any rights and now use "terror threats" as an excuse to basically do anything to anyone. The police make illegal stops all the time. Probable cause was the standard until the supreme court ruled that "reasonable suspicion" took the place of that. There no laws in this entire country that state that you or I must carry any form of ID. Yet people are arrested and held because they don't have a piece of paper to prove who they are. Violations of the 4th amendment happen all the time. And Judges, that is, most Judges don't even view the 4th amendment has a cause for discussion. As it is abused all the time and so often that they simply ignore that right all together. I have a few cases that I can show that to be true.
