Where have all the conservatives gone?

One should not ascribe much credibility to online polls, but consider this distressing result: seeking a little conservative solace at The Weekly Standard, I clicked on their Question of the Week:

Following the terrorist attacks on London earlier this month, police in New York City began conducting random searches of bags at entrances to the subway. Do you believe these searches are constitutional? Do you believe they are necessary?
*Yes to both
*No to both
*They are constitutional but unnecessary
*They are unconstitutional, but they are necessary

I clicked on “No to both” and eagerly awaited some comforting results from my fellow conservatives. Alas, no such results were forthcoming. At the time I participated in the poll (08:30 CDT), the results were as follows:

Yes to both 66%
No to both 10%
They are constitutional but unnecessary 9%
They are unconstitutional, but they are necessary 14%

I thought conservatives stood against this sort of big-government intrusion into our daily lives. Instead, this (again, unscientific) poll suggests that a large majority of conservatives are willing to ignore or wrongly interpret the Constitution to justify random searches of any citizen who has the nerve to poke his head out of his house and try traveling through his country. Remember, “random” means the search is based on nothing remotely resembling probable cause, on nothing at all, really. A random search is the most arbitrary intrusion possible into our daily activities. Where are the conservatives who should bristle at such government behavior?
