Here I consider the implications of the court's conception of Privacy for sex equality claims by third parties. Recall that the case holds that a non-emergency cross-gender Strip Search of pre-trial Detainees is unreasonable absent an emergency that precludes waiting for a guard of the same gender as the detaine...
