If Rep. Phil Hart, R-Hayden, has his way in the Idaho Legislature, whole-body scanners won’t be used as a primary screening method at Idaho airports anytime soon.  Hart believes the scanners, while a good tool for security, are too invasive and unproven medically for use in the state. Hart introduced the plan before the House State Affairs Committee Tuesday, saying that the scanners violate Article I, Section 17 of the Idaho Constitution, which holds “unreasonable searches and seizures” without a warrant as unlawful.  He said that it is the intent of the Legislature to find a balance between the security of public facilities and the “inalienable rights of man” as found in Article I, Section I of the Idaho Constitution/Dustin Hurst, Idaho Reporter.

Question: Do you agree with Rep. Phil Hart that whole-body scanners represents an 'unreasonable search and seizure' in violation of the state Constitution?
