An anonymous reader writes "A Canadian theater chain has been sued for an abusive search for camcording equipment. A Montreal woman is seeking $60,000 in damages for the search, which comes after the Canadian government caved to US pressure and enacted anti-camcording legislation."

    Wasn't this search voluntary? As in: I want to go to this movie badly enough that I will subject myself to this search. They weren't threatening her with anything absurd, she could have just said no, maybe written an angry letter to the theater chain or sent them an envelope full of glitter?
