Alright, let me rephrase then, no one has ever got hurt from a frisk.No one ever died from a waterboarding, either. But that doesn't answer my question.
The people are always at risk that the government would go out of its boundaries and become tyrannical, or at least less-democratic, but who in heavens has decided that this risk would be labeled a "security risk"?The point of the Bill of Rights is to put government in its proper bounds, as to the Founders the government was the security risk.
It could just as well be an economical risk for all I care, depends on where the boundaries are being crossed, and when referring to this specific case - we are talking about a privacy risk.
