meh, this is a vague term so I have no opinion on whether observing who's at a protest based on the signals their phone sends out counts as a "search". Depends on the supreme court justices' random ideas in practice.

> aren't civil disobedience

> can protest all day long

If protesters aren't breaking any law, we have seen no evidence they have any reason to worry about anything being discussed here. I'm just saying that it's silly to insist on the ability to do so secretly. Masked mobs of anonymous "protestors" is a really bad thing to normalize roaming around and doing whatever they want. Even if most are just nice concerned citizens, you're creating a perfect environment for people who just want to destroy to do so with impunity.
