ABSTRACT
As a consequence, one whose conduct appeared to be wholly innocent could reasonably expect to spend his or her days within the boundaries of the United States without ever experiencing the indignity of a search of the person, home, or office. Another case eroding the requirement that individuating circumstances predicate search or seizure is United States v. Martinez Fuerte. Administrative inspections of business may be performed upon a showing that reasonable legislative or administrative standards permit the search, even though there is no reason to suspect the business establishment of law violation. A litigant or lawyer wishing to challenge these procedures in a federal or state court would in all likelihood be confronted with a similar kind of inspection at the courthouse door. The need for courthouse security in one area and at one time is not a justification for the universal erection of systems for doorway inspection at every courthouse.
