Don’t-look-down-there wear fuels debate.
My husband keeps a copy of the United States Constitution in his car, and he reads it at red lights. Sure, he’s a lawyer, but there’s still no excuse for this level of nerdiness. Jabs at the hubby aside, I just happened upon the perfect gift for students of the Constitution, or any freedom-loving frequent flier. 4th Amendment Wear: an innovative line of undergarments designed to “get a few people to think a little more about their constitutional rights,” according to the company.

In response to the imaging technology that allows airport screeners to screen your most private parts, the folks at 4th Amendment Wear have printed the entire 4th Amendment in metallic type on T-shirts, boxers, bras and socks. Now when you undergo a scan in the name of national security, your skivvies will broadcast a bright, metallic message proclaiming your constitutional right against unreasonable searches.
