WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of
Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan who challenged the team's pat-down
searches.
High school civics teacher Gordon Johnston took his case to the
high court after a loss in Atlanta's 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
He had previously been successful in rulings from a state circuit
judge and a U.S. District judge.
The pat-downs were halted for three years until their resumption
in October. They continued as Johnston pursued his appeal, which
the Supreme Court turned down Wednesday.
A call to the American Civil Liberties Union, which represented
Johnston, was not immediately returned.
