Strip Searching for Advil

The Supreme Court at least recognizes the ridiculousness of searching a girl for Advil in her underwear. For some reason, the intrusiveness of a strip search for over the counter drugs was not sufficiently obvious to allow the individuals involved to be subject to suit. Full decision is here (Warning: PDF).

Update - 12:37 P.M.: I just got to Thomas' dissent, apparently no search is ever unreasonable in his eyes, no matter how intrusive and for what minor purpose. Oh Thomas, will there ever be an authority figure who ass you don't want to kiss?
