Yes but where do we draw the line.  Why not search everyones' houses to
find illegal weapons, drugs, etc.  Clearly this would be in society's
best interest.  Is it fair to search/accuse/assume_guilt of everyone
too find the few who are guilty?  This may be what the majority wants
but it still seems to me to be a violation of the Bill of Rights.
