Fortunately for us, this country is a bit more civilized, and folks generally respect the rule of law, which includes the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizures (see, Article 4, US Constitution). So while you may think there are bigger concerns in the world than a bunch of kids getting strip searched--and I wouldn't argue that point--the issue whether we respect our own rule of law, not how silly it may seem compared against senseless killings in other parts of the world.
