Apple retail-store workers complained that the policy of checking employees’ bags as a security precaution was embarrassing and demeaning.

"“Rather than prohibiting employees from bringing bags and personal Apple devices into the store altogether,” Judge Alsup wrote, “Apple took a milder approach to theft prevention and offered its employees the option to bring bags and personal Apple devices into a store subject to the condition that such items must be searched when they leave the store.”"

Team officials announced the move hours after Coach Bill Belichick said Lewis’s chances to play did not look good.
Lewis had been a big surprise for the undefeated Patriots, with 622 combined yards rushing and receiving in seven games. He was hurt Sunday after catching a 14-yard screen pass. His left leg buckled as he tried to make a cut."
