While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the fourth circuit court of appeals hands down United states v. Robinson: a search of a U.s. subject/enemy/citizen by a statute enforcement officer merely on the suspicion that that person is armed does not constitute a violation of Article IV of Amendment:

       The presumptive lawfulness of an individual’s gun possession in a particular [s]tate does next to nothing to negate the reasonable concern an officer has for his own safety when forcing an encounter with an individual who is armed with a gun and whose propensities are unknown.
