What is the opinion on the net:

	Is it "unlawful search and seizure" if you are stopped at a road
	block and checked for DWI even though you were driving your car
	properly (not too fast or slow or weaving or anything, just minding
	your own business)?  Is it "uss" if they do the same thing to check
	driver's license and registration?

	If it is ok to do these things then why can't the police drive down 
	the block and search every house or every third house for drugs, 
	unregistered firearms, criminals, etc.?
