Constitutional Connection:  Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure.
     The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Explaination to Connection:
     Steve Bierfeldt was being detained in a St.Louis airport because the box that he was carrying had $4,700. Security screeners demended to know wehere he got the money. With every question that the T.S.A asked him he would ask if he was legally requird to answer the quesiton.  It turns out that Mr. Bierfeldt was carrying that money because he was returning home from a regional confrence of Campaign for Liberty, a group that supports Ron Paul, the former presidential candidate. Mr. Bierfeldt traveled from political events with donations and money from the sale of T-shirts and bumper stickers.
     This article shows tdemonstrates the fourth amendment of the U.S. constitution because it shows the people have the right of being against unresonable searches and seizers.  In this case Steve Bierfeldt knew that so he decided not to answer any of the questions he was being asked unless it was illeagal if he refused them.
     Just like the rest of the constitution, the fourth amendment gives alot of power and freedom to the people. I respect the fourth amnedment because i think it gives the most power to the people, it gives you the right to not answer anything that you dont want to.
