“Sobriety checkpoints are a fact of life because people drive drunk.”

So stop the people where there is actual probable cause to think they are driving drunk. Swerving, stumbling out of a bar, visible containers, no lights, standing at a green light, etc, etc, etc.

These statist “fishing” checkpoints belong back where I last encountered them, in the USSR or central America, not a constitutional USA. The drunk driving fear mongering is just another ploy for people to slowly give up their rights.

The fact that so many people HERE support random searches of everyone traveling on a random local road with no probable cause, for ANY given reason, makes me sick.

Same with the TSA and the welcoming of serious affronts to personal dignity in the name of fear. Too many in our time live in a state of irrational fear, including too many Freepers.

But do not be sick over what you perceive. The numbers are less than may be perceived, as those in irrationally fearful states of being in such a matter are more likely to be of an unstable "Fearful Aggression" mode of behavior. See Exhibiting aggressive behavior.
