So many people here complaining that DHS is violating their 4th amendment and privacy rights...yet in November they are going to cheerfully vote for McCain or Obama...both who have supported the trashing of the 4th amendment with their votes and policies....or they are going to vote to re-elect their incumbent senator or Congressman who also voted to trash the 4th amendment.All I can say is these people deserve to learn their lesson the hard way...so don't expect me to feel sorry for these people if DHS searches their laptop.
