Tampa halts pat-downs of sports fans

A Hillsborough judge on Thursday ordered a halt to pat-down searches before Tampa Bay Buccaneers games at Raymond James Stadium.

Hillsborough Circuit Judge Perry A. Little issued the temporary injunction nearly two weeks after high school civics teacher Gordon Johnston, 60, sued the Tampa Sports Authority, claiming its decision to implement the searches was unconstitutional. < SP Times

Seems to me that a re-assesment of priorities is in order.
