Amen Lars!
  I wanted to say this for a while about this topic and the ensuing threads 
and you said it perfectly. These are minor regulations and designed for a 
purpose. If a person doesn't think they are effective and therefore unwise, 
then they can do something to change them. To all those worried about your 
search and seizure rights, lobby for something that you think will be 
effective such that you can comply without all this analysis of what is 
unconstitutional. The point is to promote coexistence between bears and 
humans.
