The article needs to be updated. According to the New York Times "The Supreme Court on Monday ruled by a 5-to-4 vote that officials may strip-search people arrested for any offense, however minor, before admitting them to jails even if the officials have no reason to suspect the presence of contraband.", in the US strip searches MAY be performed even in the absence of a reasonable suspicion. this is because of a recent ruling by the United States Supreme Court. On the other hand, some states specifically prohibit them.

In the Supreme Court case [1], the individual involved was searched in a computer base because he was a passenger in a car stopped for a traffic violation. The computer database indicated that he had not paid a traffic fine [though he had]. He was twice strip searched -- even though he apparently stayed in custody after the first search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.179.16.86 (talk) 02:04, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
