Rights Violation or a Complete Jerk?

[Munkay]

One question I have for you, which I keep forgetting to ask: what happens when ALL stores require these bag checks, as most of them already do? What recourse do we have?

I doubt that will ever happen, especially after reading this thread. I never thought twice about bag check, but apparently it's something that really gets people riled up.

If it is a big deal to most people, then every store won't do it. Business sense demands that if your customer base is disgruntled by the practice, loosening the slack in your store will steal business from your competitors. Moreover, as Archon_Wing pointed out the practice of bag checking is an alternative to more expensive means. Technologies (like penny cheap RFID chips) are developed all the time. Technology will eventually take over the role of a human being shuffling through your belongings.

Cheers,
