NY ACLU Is The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day

From O'Reilly's Most Ridiculous Item on November 2. I hope the url in the link remains the permanent address for this. Check out the New York ACLU web page highlighted below for your "rights" if your bag is searched. (Remove tongue from cheek) I wonder if their attorneys would defend a visitor to the NYCLU whose bag was searched while entering their building. Anyone? Anyone? Isn't this pledge season as some college somewhere? I almost want to do this myself...and call the media to see if anyone shows up to film and air the fiasco!

We have to thank The New York Sun newspaper for digging this one up:

As you may know, the New York chapter of the ACLU is suing the city for random bag checks in the subway system. But guess who's checking bags in their own offices? You got it, the NYCLU. The sign outside the office says, quote, "Please have photo ID ready for inspection. All packages are subject to inspection upon entering and leaving the premises."

Whoa! Got to love that ACLU. To not do so would be ridiculous. It's great.
