I have not read all the articles on this subject, so please forgive me
if someone has already done this.  Has anyone yet defined what a "strip
search" is?  I do not know what one is in a jail setting.  But I do know
what it can involve in an international border crossing.  And that is 
visual and contact inspection of sexual organs and the anal area.

I haven't made up my mind on this issue yet.  It would be easier if I
knew if the above applies to a prison strip search.  Does anyone have
the FACTS?
