The world was outraged when the Egyptian military conducted so-called virginity checks on female protesters during the Egyptian Revolution and even more so when the doctors who conducted them were found not guilty last month in an Egyptian court.
Where's the outrage here in the US now that the United States Supreme Court has authorized what amounts to the same thing, except performed by deputy sheriffs and prison wardens. The court authorized strip searches for anyone arrested even on minor charges like traffic violations. Presumably angry protesters may face the same treatment.
