New Yorker cartoonist Emily Richards has a proposition for you:
If you're wearing clean underwear, you shouldn't have any objections to government guys looking up your skirt. Why should they have to go to some judge and ask permission to look up your skirt? Especially if it's to save the country from terrorists?
Umm...what?
Any better, fashion-centric wiretapping analogies you've got for us would be greatly appreciated. So.....CONTEST ALERT! Please submit your fashion related constitutional law wiretapping analogy by midnight on Friday. The winning entry will see his or her analogy illustrated and lauded on this very site over the weekend.
For illumination and some truly gorgeous drawings, see Richards' blog What to Wear This Very Second.

Hello Em, I find your blog extremely interesting. I sent you an email as well, did you get it?If not, what is the email address I can reach you at?
that’s funny. i read the richards quote on your blog and thought to myself, “i think some dumbo woman on the street said basically the same thing on npr yesterday morning. but without the analogy.” and when i visited richards, there it was, SHE had heard the dumbo woman on the street.
