In case you're traveling this holiday season....

Not long ago, I called on all Ricocheterians to come up with a line of clothing named after some law or another. The suggestions were fantastic, including Second Amendment tank tops (for the right to “bare arms”) and Fifth Amendment underclothes.
Once again, life imitates Ricochet. Now this company has launched a brand of Fourth Amendment underwear. The text on the underwear (i.e., the bit about unreasonable searches and seizures) is made with some sort of metallic thread so that it will be clearly legible to the TSA officials watching you on the backscatter machine. Much more refined than “don’t touch my junk,” but basically the same message. (h/t Lowering the Bar).

I also enjoy the men's and women's undergarments featuring tastefully-placed foliage to block the scanners. One must wonder: how does the TSA respond to a scan with leaves obscuring the passenger's private parts? Does this insolence result in a complimentary pat-down, or do the security theater players skip right to a strip search?
