FL Judge: Droopy Drawers Are a Constitutional Right
In 2008, 72 percent of voters in Riviera Beach, FL, passed a ban on pants that ride below the waist exposing skin or underwear. But wait: turns out loose waistbands are a civil liberty.

To Catch a Predator — With a PS3
Forget fancy expensive computers — Federal Agents have a new tool in the fight against child pornography — the Sony PlayStation 3. Turns out, when several PS3s are networked together, their processing component is perfect for cracking computer passwords, which are protected under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.
