Law Students Sue TSA Over Nakie Scanners and Pat-Downs

Go get 'em class of 2012!:
The U.S. government was sued in federal court in Boston by two Harvard University law students who claim their constitutional rights were violated by “nude body scanners” and “enhanced pat-downs” at airports.

Jeffrey Redfern, 27, and Anant Pradhan, 23, who are members of the law school’s class of 2012, said the security measures taken at airports are “intrusive” and violate the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, according to their complaint filed Nov. 29.

The students, who said they are regular travelers who use Boston’s Logan International Airport, seek a declaration that mandatory screening using the enhanced measures is unconstitutional and a ban on the techniques “without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.”
Where's the ACLU on this one? If the government was trying to put a creche on the Capitol lawn they'd be all over this, but millions of Americans being treated like terrorists doesn't seem to bother them.
