The US government is being sued in federal court by two Harvard University Law School students, who claim their constitutional rights were violated by "nude body scanners" and "enhanced pat-downs" at airports, according to the Newsmax website.
Jeffrey Redfern, 27, and Anant Pradhan, 23, who are members of the law school's class of 2012, said the security measures taken at airports are "intrusive" and violate the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, according to their complaint filed on November 29, 2010.
The plaintiffs, who were given pat-downs at Boston's Logan International Airport, found the process "highly intrusive, including touching, better described as prodding and lifting of the genitals and buttocks," they said in the suit.
Named as defendants were Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security, and John Pistole, administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
