An attempt of this in the 70's would never have happened, however, with the Patriot Act, and other laws (which Americans have taken laying down) that have encumbered our freedoms, for the sake of safety, it is the path we passive Americans have chosen.
We have allowed the search of our bags on the subways in N.Y. City, for the sake of safety, when a dog would do just fine. What will be next? Well, when you have the majority of the drivers voluntarily participating in this roadside bloodtest, it certainly doesn't look good.

I remember when protesters use to enter voting booths and smoke joints. Evidently nobody, absolutely, nobody is allowed to enter your voting booth. These folks would just sit and smoke weed for hours. The cops would show up, the media would show up and the tokers would just swallow their evidence upon leaving. Not a damn thing the authorities could do.

If that's true thats awesome. I bet they would use a public disordling conduct law nowadays if someone tried that, or something like that. Endangering public safety (the ppl in the booths next to you).
