United states customs service agents strip search Amanda Buritica, a 51-year-old school crossing guard, returning from a trip to Hong Kong, because she fits a computer profile falsely identifying her as a drug smuggler.

       Postscript: The agents took Buritica to a hospital, gave her laxatives, which induced 28 involuntarily bowel movements over an eight-hour period, and produced no drugs.
