Certainly your big red white and blue t-shirt reading "I AM AN AMERICAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY" should have been a clue for your attackers, right?

We all undergo increased security in airports and for some reason it's tolerated. I don't like it, but it is a special heightened secure area. This new law applies to walking down the sidewalk, driving down the road. This is every day life. This isn't a couple times a year of standing in a line and being frisked in a place where you have the option to go.

If true, that would make it a clear 4th amendment violation, right?

That was the most blatant example - not the only one.
