As Breyer (joined by Ginsburg, Kagan and Sotomayor) said in his dissent in Florence (http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-945.pdf), "Even when carried out in a respectful manner, and even absent any physical touching, . . . such searches are inherently harmful, humiliating, and degrading." There should never be a strip search without reasonable suspicion that the person searched is hiding contraband or a weapon.
