"Reasonable suspicion" and "Probable Cause" are used all the time in the legal system. They are one of the fundamental notions in the legal system. There is no reason what so ever that there cannot be legally well defined and defensible criteria to determine when strip searches can and should be used. To have people claim otherwise in the legal community (lawyers, officers and corrections workers alike) is just intellectually lazy and dishonest, in my opinion.
