Navegator I can make the same argument with any number of things.
Lets pick illegal drugs.
Illegal drugs cost almost a 1/4 of a million lives in the world each year. It also costs over a 1/2 a TRILLION dollars in the US economy.
That being said; should be have warrantless searches at all state borders looking for drugs? After all, illegal drugs cost lives AND a lot of money and not just the cost of some fruit.
Should we do it at every county line? Neighborhoods? Should we just give police the power to just come into your home without any warrant if they think you have drugs? Maybe we should do away with that pesky 4 amendment?
After all, illegal drug use costs us a lot more money than Med Flys ever did and ever will.
Maybe the persons that get all huffy and puffy with police searching for drugs without warrants would like to pay some of the tax payers for the loss and the hospitals for trying to save the drug addict?
