"The Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to warrant-less searches of the homes of welfare recipients. The American Civil Liberties Union had accused San Diego County of violating privacy rights. But the Supreme Court upheld a lower-court ruling approving the searches. The court had okayed the searches on grounds county officials are not seeking evidence of crimes but determining welfare eligibility. The ACLU says the policy violates fourth amendment rights banning unreasonable searches and seizures. A group of dissenting judges have called the searches an attack on the poor."

Slowly our government is stripping our civil rights and human rights by the causes such as "To combat terrorism", "Defeat Global Terrorism", "Protect our citizens". This is what basically what Noam Chomsky meant by "Manufacturing Consent" from my understanding of how things are playing out. The State is scaring the citizens into giving up our born rights because it will be better that way, or to stop terrorist. It's a scary thing that is beginning to happen and i just hope it doesn't go any further.
