3 Things You Should Know

1. You can be strip searched for any arrest, no matter how minor. Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled a by 5-to-4 vote that officials have the right to require citizens to “undergo a close visual inspection while undressed” before admitting them to jails even if the officials have no reason to suspect the presence of contraband. 


2. It’s a good time to plan a vacation on the seas. According the folks over at Wisebread.com, April is typically a good month (price-wise) to book a cruise. The website reports that not only are cruise prices down in general, but this year’s cruise deals are as much as 11 percent less than similar offers last year.


3. You are at greater risk for coronary heart disease, if you have a relative with cancer. The increased risk may be due to the negative stress. Research suggests that mental stress and depression affect the nervous system, blood pressure and inflammation, which in turn can increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease and stroke.
