I’m glad to see that the Courts have decided that the 4th Amendment is a geographic privilege and not an actual right.
A federal appeals court in Manhattan upheld the convictions on Monday of three Al Qaeda operatives in a ruling that bolsters the government’s power to investigate terrorism by holding that a key Constitutional protection afforded to Americans does not apply overseas.The unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit holds for the first time that government agents may obtain admissible evidence against United States citizens through warrantless searches abroad.

I just find it amazing that this can be claimed from a text that reads so simply:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
It seems the constitution has become virtually meaningless in the face of the law-and-order mentality at this time.

- This is why I love OU football! #
- Does it balance out if you ride your bike for biscuits and gravy?
# - I didn’t have the nerve to actually do it, stuck with a western omelet, not that it’s much better. #
- Commenting code on a cloudy Sunday is somehow comforting. #

Staring at trucking regulation software code had started dissolving my brain as of late. I’ve got way to much to do and too little time. And yet, I needed a project to take my mind off of it. As many of you know, I’ve really gotten back into cycling lately (no spandex jokes necessary) and while I love riding around town, there’s not much in information about resources for Oklahoma City cyclists. So, I’ve started OKCBicyclist.com in hopes of someday fixing that problem. There’s nothing there yet, but you’ve got to start somewhere. I figured a few of my local readers might be interested. Oh yeah, before I forget, I know that I’m no graphic designer.

- Just finished my first subfreezing commute, wasn’t too bad, just didn’t get warmed up to do any real speed. #
