Never be afraid to question that which appears to be unjust, nor to painstakingly examine everything for hidden traces of injustice:

Don't Get Used to Your Clothes
Don't get used to your clothes: "Justices Approve Strip-Searches for Any Offense" - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/
After all, it's not like you have the right to wear your clothes if injustice and suspicion come calling. The pitfalls of the status quo justice system are innumerable. We only need look at history, more recent public discourse, activist widsom for centuries, and the scores of wrongfully accused, to know that re-visioning, not revamping or reforming, is vital. It's amazing to me that the U.S. guarantees each person the right to bear arms in the federal Constitution, but that there is no fundamental right to an education in federal law, and now the Supreme Court refuses to question any law enforcement decision on this strip-search matter, however innane or inaccurate.
I don't think we can afford to be shy about this one. Please see http://www.charisasmith.com/make-a-difference for ways that you can take action.
